WC -> Hmm...I don't know how to use a script file..do I have to use
   -> a script file if ever I'll be using blinker?
No, but it's a lot easier. You just list the object file names and
libraries in a text file, one per line, as in:
TEST.LNK
BLINKER DEMONSTRATION DATE 2020/12/31
BLINKER EXECUTABLE DUAL
NOBELL
FI Main      # these are the object files. FI is short for "file"
FI Second
etc.
SEARCH BLXCLP52
(end of test.lnk)
The Clipper libraries are pulled in automatically. To link it you do a
Blinker @test
and you're done!
WC -> I'd like to add a "tagging" on the
   -> database record(s) (under TBrowse) so assuming there are 10 records
   -> on the screen, the user can tag/detag the record and assuming the
   -> user chooses 2 entries, that entry will be tranferred to another
   -> array..is that hard to do?
The simplest way is to add a character field, 1 character wide. Display
it on the TBROWSE. If the user tags that record, display a check mark
in that field. Then loop through the table adding the records with a
check mark into the array, and at the same time clearing the check mark
field for the next use.
