Defaults
To create your own defaults for any or all tables, create a CNF file and call it DEFAULTS. Save it to your
working directory. Any new records you create for a field in any table will have the values of the first
entry in that table. To use an existing file for your defaults, select it in the edit options window.
Note This option does not apply to the site names field in any table.
