	<li><B>Delete / Edit</B>
	<BR>You can delete/edit a record at a time by clicking on "delete"/"<a href="<%script_url%>?<%do_param%>=help&help_topic=edit">edit</a>" link at the end of each record.
	However, there must be a primary key in the table.  If there is not a primary key, then the links are disabled.
	By default, you will be prompted to confirm your action before deleting a record.  However, you can turn 
	the option off by setting <i>confirm_delete_record</i> to 0 in the config file (mysql.cfg).
	<P>
	Also, these actions are not available if a query was sent to mySQL using <a href="<%script_url%>?<%do_param%>=help&help_topic=sql_monitor">SQL Monitor</a>.

	<B>Number of records per page</B>
	<BR>The number of records per page can be set in the config file (mysql.cfg).  This can be changed by
