To create a mapped field, position the cursor over the start and press F8. Next, move the cursor to the end of the field and press F8 again. The mapped field window (below) appears for you to finish the mapped field definition. When that is complete the program returns to this screen for you to map additional fields. When finished you may press F3 to exit.
