<h2>Recreating an original, empty PDB file</h2>
The phonebook application will clone the last opened PDF file.
When the PDB file is modified, new PDB file will usually also be
modified. To recreate an original file, you need to close the
phonebook application, delete C:\_DAT\PHONE.ENV and rename
C:\_DAT\PHONE.PDB to something else. When you then start the
phonebook application again, it should recreate an empty PHONE.PDB
file with the original fields and layout.
