Description

The COPY TAG command creates a single index (.ndx) file from a tag in a multiple index (.dbx) file, copying the specified <tagname> to a single, stand-alone index file specified with <.ndx filename>. If no file extension is specified, then '.ndx' is used.

OF <.dbx filename>

If the tag does not exist in the currently open multiple index file the OF <.dbx filename> clause must be used to specify the <tagname> source.
