Select 1 Define Files.

NOTE: You may see a different set of filenames on your screen, or only one filename "rolodex" (used in the Primer Guide). It is unimportant how many files already exist when you are creating a new filePro file. You may ignore any other names you see and choose [NEW].

Enter vidcust as shown below.
