another -v processing question

[Dennis Malen]

Ken,

That would be great also. But simply I am using the power of -v to select 
the records. In order to do that I am starting from the beginning of the 
file in order the -v  to "select" the appropriate records.

If there were some way within processing or on the command line to identify 
an automatic index to use and -v would recognize this it would save a 
tremendous amount of time. Using -v takes longer and longer as the file 
grows.
