   The Multi-page data entry management is structured on more than one
   screen page and used to manage homogenous information. The system is
   composed of a Form object structured on various pages, however, only one
   is shown at a time. All the pages will have the same size and each page
   can be defined independently from the other, inserting every type of
   control.

   This type of management is particularly useful in those cases, when it is
   not possible to bring all the necessary information on a single screen
   page. Each modification made on the data displayed on the current page
   will automatically update all the pages that contain the information
   relative to the same data.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
   A Multi-Page management system is nothing but a Single-Page management
   with more pages. It is therefore possible to add new pages to a Single
   Page management, making it a Multi-page system.
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------

   In dBsee and in the generated application, selecting a new page is done
   with Alt-Tab and Alt-Shift-Tab, or by using the standard page
   selector pushbuttons. It is also possible to select another page, using
   the system menu's label, called "Switch to...".

   When designing, the Alt-P key, pressed when the cursor is not
   positioned on a control, opens a list of all the available pages. It is
   possible to select a page and move to it, or create a new page by pressing
   Ins.

   If a control must be placed on all pages, it is not necessary to put the
   control on every page. The system provides a virtual page, called page
   0, for this purpose. This single page contains all the controls that
   must appear on all the pages. It is not possible to access page 0 directly
   in design. The controls on the regular pages can be shifted to and from
   this page. To associate a Control to this page, do the following:

     . Create a Control on whatever page.

     . Position the cursor on that control and press Alt-P. The
       control is moved to page 0 and will be visible on all the pages that
       make up the management.

     . At this point, positioning the cursor on the control and
       pressing Alt-P again, the control will be moved from page 0 to the
       current page.
        Page 0 can be used, therefore, as a tool to move a control from one
       page to another.
