Subject: Show another source within a source

How do I add information to a source that shows where the original
information was obtained, as well as offer descriptive, clarifying
information about the source. For example, I am entering family information
from a bible source, following the Mills format. I have entered my
information and it formats correctly as follows:

Family data, Allen Langford Bible; owned 1969 by Mrs. Homer (Mattie A.
McMillan) Kiser, Gainesville, Ga.

I do not have the name, publisher and date of publication of the Bible, so I
deleted this code from the format, but I do have information as to where the
information was obtained and that is what I would like to add as further
description to the source. This information is:

Extracts published in Sybil Wood McRay, compiler, Misc. "D" 1850-1868, 12
Months Support, Inventory and Appraisment, Hall County, Georgia
(Gainesville, Georgia; privately printed, 1969), 7. The McRay extracts
contain data applicable to the family of Allen and both his wives. I have
entered this source in my master source list and show it as "souces for this
source" in the Source Definition Screen on the Family data entry above, but
I don't know how to make this information print as a citation detail. I
also can't determine how to get the citation detail of a page number or the
further information about a source i.e., "The McRay extracts contain.....".
to appear in the citation.

I hope I have explained this correctly. I'm a new user and when I posted
yesterday regarding source information imported from Generations, Jim
indicated I needed to edit all my sources which is what I am trying to do.
Looks like I will be posting a lot until I get the hang of this. I would
like to thank you in advance for your patience in helping me learn this
program.
