ABSTRACT:
	The "format" task prepares a new volume for use.  Once a
	volume is formatted, programs and data may be written onto
	it.  WARNING: formatting removes all existing data from the
	volume, effectively erasing it.

Menu.format:Devices Available
	The devices available menu contains an entry for each type of
	device which supports the format operation.  Select the
	desired device type from the menu.  You will then be prompted
	for a device group and/or a specific device.

	Enter the device group you will be working with.
	Press CHOICES to see the available device groups.

devdrive:Device Drive

	formatted.  Press CHOICES to see available choices.

Text.format:ABSTRACT
	At this time, insert the volume you wish to format into the
	drive you indicated in the previous frame.  After you press
	CONT, the system will format the volume.
