Basic Commands
I will use several basic commands in the Command Search option. The first one is the BEGIN command to enter the database(s) of choice. Take a look at an example of the BEGIN command below.
| Command | Example | When to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| BEGIN B |
begin 654 b 654 b 654,652 b patfull |
Use BEGIN with a file number to specify the database(s) to be searched |
In Lesson 1 we decided that U.S. Patents Fulltext (File 654) had
the kind of information we needed for this topic. From the Dialog
Command Search page, I will type in the BEGIN command in the Command
textbox. I click 
or press the Enter key on the
keyboard to start my search.
Enter Begin (file#) Command
Go to the next page.
