Well, if his users normally access the file from a menu option that 
is calling a complex auto and/or input table (not named input) and 
extensively uses @entsel, @update, etc., and he doesn't let his users 
access the fp dev. menu, and if he reserves the fp dev. menu for his 
own viewing/admin of the file, then I can see his point.
