15 administers all of the information stored in Moira, the Athena Service
16 Management System database. When invoked by the name

22 It a database is specified on the command line, that server will be

31 only once. Typing '?' will cause a menu to be redisplayed.
33 When called without options,
35 displays a menu in the top half of the screen listing other menus;
36 retrievals, appends, updates, or
37 deletes to the database; or control actions within the program.
38 Each menu consists of several lines containing a single character
39 (usually a numeral), a keyword, and a short description. Menu items
40 may be selected by either the single character or the keyword. Needed
41 arguments may be put on the same line -- otherwise, they will be
42 prompted for. It is possible to invoke an option from a sub-menu by
43 name while at a higher menu. The lower half of the screen is a
44 dialogue area used to prompt the user and display retrieved information.
