Database:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
GUI to output the value of a constant. q must be an exact match.
Case and spaces have no effect. To search for a string (without
using the GUI) type Database( searchString, 'find' ). You must
initialize the database before using it. The first time you call
Database type:
Database( 'fullFileName' )
or
Database
The second option will bring up a file selection dialog box.
The database expects a tab separated text file of the form:
name value units reference
For a demonstration type
Database('Sample.db')
Once you open a database you cannot open another one with the command
Database(fileName)
since after opening all inputs are assumed to be database searches.
This function works the same as Constant.
