   Pathagoras maintains a Table which maintains and displays the association of each registered prefix with a specific folder or glossary. By referencing this Table during document assembly sessions, Pathagoras can quickly access all clauses or documents which are named using the Prefix/Suffix Naming Convention.

  The registered prefixes also allows the user to quickly and effortlessly locate any prefix/suffix named term with a simple press of <Alt-G>. Such 'mouseless assembly' is a hallmark feature of Pathagoras.

   The Table is automatically augmented or modified:

1.when you create a new book and choose to name the terms using the prefix/suffix style; or
2.when you assign a prefix to a book via the Document Assembly Setting screen ('Prefix' tab) and press the Assign Prefix button.
3.when you directly register a prefix using the Prefix Table screen (see below instructions for direct registration).

Direct registration:

   To register a prefix and associate it with a specific folder:

1.Display the Utilities/Settings screen and click the All Settings button.
2.Click the Prefix Tables tab.

type into the Prefix box (2, above) the 2 to 4 characters of the prefix. To pair up a folder or glossary to the prefix, click the Navigate to Source button (3, above). Follow the prompts.
