I cannot find in drupal 6.x option or module to edit teaser and body in separate fields. For example in 5.x it was "excerpt" modul, this module is in development status in drupal 6.x and after installation is not working. Also I wish to work without <!--break--> in body database field.
I hope this is standard problem and just cannot find right option.

This feature is built in in
This feature is built in in Drupal 6. You can press the 'split summary at cursor' button to create separate fields. You can also choose if the body should contain the teaser or not.
I saw 'split summary at
I saw 'split summary at cursor' and this is not a problem, but I didn't find where I can choose to body doesnt' contain teaser.
Show summary in full view
After clicking 'split summary at cursor', the button is replaced by a 'join summary' button. To the left of it there is a checkbox saying 'Show summary in full view'. When unchecked, the teaser (summary, intro, or whatever people call it) is not shown in the full node view.
Ok, thanks, your comments
Ok, thanks, your comments help me a lot. Now I understand better. My problem was - I have old site in drupal 5.x with Node teaser module. I wish to move this in 6.x version, but without upgrading (as I wish to have clean installation without old modules). As I can see now, I have to move teaser values from nodeteaser table to teaser field in node_revisions table and I have to add "<!--break-->\n' text on begining body field in node_revisions table.
As I can see drupal 6.x has no specific option behind 'split summary at cursor' and 'Show summary in full view', just use state of this flags from fields teaser and body in node_revisions table.
Transition Module D5 -> D6
Do you have already some code for this transition at hand? It would be useful to have a "node teaser" module version 6.x, which - during the update from D5 - simply translates existing tables into the new format and finally removes the old node-teaser tables.
