=TITLE Overview of the Cardfiler
=KEYWORD Overview
 The Cardfiler lets you create an electronic box of
 index cards. This electronic file box is called a card
 file.

 Card files contain cards, which can hold any kind of
 information you like, such as names, addresses, and
 telephone numbers. By organizing the cards in card
 files, you can keep groups of cards separate from other
 groups of cards.

 The Cardfiler uses two windows, the Cardfiler index
 window and the card window. The Cardfiler window lists,
 in alphabetical order, the topic of each card in the
 file. The card window displays the topic and text of a
 single card. It may also include images.

 For information about using the Cardfiler, double click
 on an item from the list of additional topics below.

 For information about using help, choose Using Help
 from the Help menu above.
