Why?

[George Simon]

I don't have a problem because:
1.  I don't _have_ to use those 3 lines of code.  It is something I just
added a couple of days ago to show someone how the xlate command works.
2.  _If_ I had to use those lines of code, I could call the table from
elsewhere and not automatic processing.

I report everything I see that does not seem to work right with filePro.  I
give as much information as I can for someone to reproduce the problem, but
I'm not about to send 600 MB to fp support.

When one of my customers reports a bug in my application, I don't make them
send me their data or do the debugging for me.  I try to duplicate it using
my own data and if I can't, I connect to their system and try to duplicate
it there.
