What I meant by this "official" Database is the list as found on the official SMSQ/E site:
https://www.wlenerz.com/smsqe/addkeys.html#DDD

This lists most keywords for known OS variations and toolkits and where they belong to.
The same keyword may be found in different sources but when acting the same they are combined in one entry.
When this action or syntax is unclear a separate entry is maintained.
The reason for this list is to avoid naming conflicts if you want to make your own keywords. More info on the keywords must be found in the respective manuals.

DBAS is a set of Basic keywords and machine code routines to build and keep a database. The package includes a simple frontend but that needs the PE (Pointer Environment) to work.
(WMAN, PTR_GEN, HOT_REXT for QDOS/Minerva, it's included in SMSQ/E)

Also my SuQcess program was built around DBAS and needs the PE to work.

The "official" Keyword Database was started as a collection of text files but entered into SuQcess and sorted there before being converted to HTML for the SMSQ/E site.

Many thanks, this is it, I saw you around databases here a lot, nice app.
My big excuses for such pollution of this thread.

PS: what about to pin this crucial/central kewords list page into quick links?
