It sounds like we have a lot to look forward to.  I have a fondness for
databases, and full screen text based data entry apps, so INFORMATION and
the forms management system sound particularly interesting to me.

I've read through a bit of the FORMS users guide.  I only found FORMS
installed on the Rev 19 sample system so far, but haven't checked all the
systems yet.  I haven't tried to do anything with FORMS aside from listing
existing forms.  There weren't any.  

The only info I could find on INFORMATION was its product bulletin.  Was it
The Prisoner's title sequence where a voice kept repeating INFORMATION ...
INFORMATION?  For some reason that came to mind.  I need to get around to
watching that series.  I've only seen a bit of the first episode.
