Forms Mode User's Manual. Node: Top
(dir)
Forms mode is an Emacs major mode for working with simple textual data
bases in a forms-oriented manner. In Forms mode, the information in
these files is presented in an Emacs window in a user-defined format,
one record at a time. The user can view records or modify their
contents.
Forms mode is not a simple major mode, but requires two files to do its
job: a control file and a data file. The data file holds the
actual data to be presented. The control file describes
how to present it.
