All,

Thank you, John, for the compliment.

For me it is simple, since I always fill in the subject area anyway.
I know it is not an earth shattering idea, but it does work.
I figure what's 5 more characters among friends.

As for the free chains, we are still investigating them.  We don't, however, allow
deletes on the file in question.  What we do is when a user hits "D" to delete, we
set several fields on the record to indicate that it is a "deleted" record, and then
when we do our archive procedure, as we create the new active file, we just skip over
those records we previously marked as "deleted".

Thanks again to all who answered my questions, and to those who liked my e-mail idea.
