I don't know who wrote that script, but please tell him or her that it's
really not very useful, because 
	
	1) It limits a new qualifier to three characters, instead of
	    filePro's limit of seven.

	2) It *duplicates* the base unqualified files, with all of their
	   existing data.  Maybe somebody might want that once in a blue
	   moon, but when one adds a new qualifier, should one expect it
	   to come with records already present?
