Note
In WinISIS data entry worksheets are much simpler than in the
CDS/ISIS DOS version. The worksheet simply defines a
collection of fields to be filled with data. The Worksheet also is
not divided into pages. The fields are described using their names
as defined in the FDT. Fields cannot be distinguished graphically
and there are no TITLE fields. (Text without data entry boxes)
If a help message is associated with the field being edited, the
message is automatically displayed at the bottom of the data
entry window.
