The system is customizable to each particular user by permitting the user to modify the data entries in the portable database to satisfy the user's needs. In addition to Internet document systems, the invention is applicable to electronic mail systems. In the case of a global network, such as the Internet, the present invention may be operatively associated with the Internet browser or even form a component of the browser.
