Extending Files

[Tim Fischer]

Hi Alan,

Search through the FilePro online manual 
(http://fpunixware.fptech.net/fpmanhtm/start.htm) for "keyx1" and read 
the resulting page.  That's what I'm trying to do.  From what I 
understand, the keyx1 (unqualified) would be keyqualx1 
(qual=qualifier).  That is not happening.  I'm seeing keyx1 
(unqualified) and keyx1qual (qual=qualifier).  This is not expected 
behavior, hence my post.

Thanks,

Tim Fischer
