«create a mini-database in Frontier's object database
«each item in "statesTable" contains a record
«the name of the item is the state's name
«each record contains
«the name of the state capital
«the state's two-character abbreviation
«the year the state was admitted to the union
«note -- for larger databases, uBASE is much more efficient!
«there are three parts to this script:
«1. we create and populate the table
«2. we check each element of the table to be sure it's there
«3. we build a list of states that were admitted before 1789
