VI.b Adding files
-----------------
Okay, now you want to add some text files to your gopher database.  To do this
just create and/or copy your textfiles into the directories in the gopher
Server data directory.  Here's a quick example that uses a lookaside file:

 $ copy mop.txt GOPHER_ROOT:[Heavy_Metal_Lyrics.Metallica]mop.txt
 $ copy tt: GOPHER_ROOT:[Heavy_Metal_Lyrics.Metallica._lookaside]mop.txt
Name=Master of Puppets
^Z

You'll want to create your text files and directories with descriptive names,
or hide them by prefixing the directories and filenames with the Hidden Prefix
character(s), and locate them exclusively through your .LINKS files, as the
above example demonstrated.  .LINKS are going to be far more prevalent under
OpenVMS than they might be under Unix, since spaces are allowed in Unix
filenames while they aren't in OpenVMS filenames; you'll need them to provide
reasonable titles for your entries.  Lookaside files can also be used; more on
them later.  Remember to use continuation when specifications get so long they
will be difficult to edit.
