Hi, I started the Archive tutorial recently with a view to learning this properly next weekend, and have come up against a problem early on. I am on page 11 of the QL manual's Archive section, "Creating a File" I type new to reset Archive and then create the books file by typing: create b...

Thank you! Looking forward to take it for a spin

Im a bit short of time at the mo, hence my breathless comments..
