OK Folks.  I've decided I need a data base manager.  The bills for my thesis
need to be sorted out so that I can present them to my supervisor.  I figure
I can classify my wall board heaters by wattage.  And I really do need to
figure out how much I spend on kites during February (This is Canada 
remember).

My wife thinks its another one of my shennagan's.  I almost believe her, but 
then I see an ad for the latest in ST data base managers.  Organize your
life.  Never succumb to paper lists again.  This software is packed with
features!  Supports a monitor, left/right cursor movements, does automatic
linefeeds in a report!  You name it!  And then that gleam comes into my
eye.  They glaze over.  I feel the poetry of Moliere like when he so eruditely
discussed "vapours of the brain" in the play "A Doctor Inspite of Himself".
Suddenly, I am ready to exchange money for any package.

Please someone.  Anyone.  Help me out.  What's the low down on data base
managers for the ST?  I guess I need something with some analytical capabil-
ities.   I read a book on REFLEX for the IBM.  This sounded like a neat
product.  Is there something out there like this for the ST?
