     Yes, I thought about that, but, especially for this client, it just
about takes an act of Congress to be allowed to modify the main processing
tables.  Also, they don't want to chew up any more filePro licenses by
calling extra dclerks.  (I presume this license issue will go away in
filePro 5.6, but that's at least 6 months down the road for this customer.)

     They want this done for several files, and I think it would take me
months to write all the @entsel and @menu processing, given the extremely
high level of testing I need to go through just to release simple processing
table changes.

     I was hoping for a quick fix.  I guess I'll just have to leave them
with the multiple menu lines.

Thanks,

Mike
