.SH NAME
addbib \- create or extend a bibliographic database
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBaddbib\fR [\fB-a\fR] [\fB-p\fR \fIpromptfile\fR] \fIdatabase\fR
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
When \fBaddbib\fR starts up, answering \fBy\fR to the initial
\fBInstructions?\fR prompt yields directions. Typing \fBn\fR (or RETURN) skips
the directions. \fBaddbib\fR then prompts for various bibliographic fields,
reads responses from the terminal, and sends output records to \fIdatabase.\fR
A null response (just RETURN) means to leave out that field. A `\fB\(mi\fR\&'
(minus sign) means to go back to the previous field. A trailing backslash
allows a field to be continued on the next line. The repeating \fBContinue?\fR
prompt allows the user either to resume by typing \fBy\fR (or RETURN), to quit
the current session by typing \fBn\fR or \fBq\fR, or to edit \fIdatabase\fR
with any system editor  (see \fBvi\fR(1), \fBex\fR(1), \fBed\fR(1)).

.SH USAGE
.SS "Bibliography Key Letters"
.sp
.LP
The most common key-letters and their meanings are given below. \fBaddbib\fR
insulates you from these key-letters, since it gives you prompts in English,
but if you edit the bibliography file later on, you will need to know this
information.
