It is very easy to use you just enter your data into notepad or any other plain text editor. It's as simple as that, you don't have to worry about formatting as it is free form and your records can be of any length.
The only thing that is special is that if you are using Windows and you don't have Perl loaded then you will have to load Perl which is really easy and it's free. Probaly easier than loading and learning a proprietary database.
