to files or create them from scratch in the portable as you collect
inventory data.
When you enter an item ID into the portable, the application checks the
loaded item file for that entry. If the ID matches one in the file, the
portable displays a description of the item (which it gets from the loaded
description file) and prompts you for the number of individual units of
the item. If the ID does not match one in the item file, the application
allows you to add the ID and a description to the database.
The item and description files are simple ASCII text files consisting of
singles lines of data. The lines in the two files correspond to each other;
that is, the first line in the description file is the description of the item
in the first line of the item file, the second line in the description file is
the description of the item in the second line of the item file, and so on.
Examples of the two types of files are shown below. The item file is on
the left, and the description file is on the right.
