| Well, technically, most of the above take a lookup name, not a file

Thanks.

While most of them are associated with LOOKUP, it's possible
that the LOOKUP doesn't use an alias, so all are significant.

I'm writing an AWK program to edit/change the filePro File Names
in all processing tables on a system, and wanted to save time by
not working on Processing Table lines where a filePro File Name
would not be of interest.

This information lets me build a regular expression allowing me
to skip processing all lines where fPname1 won't possibly be
required to be changed to fPname2.
