Barry Wiseman propounded (on Wed, Jul 02, 2014 at 10:27:05AM -0400):
| You need a pair of empty (zero-length) files named keyx1 and datax1.
| (In *nix this is easy but I'm always scratching my head how to do it
| in windows.) Place these in the directory where the big key is, and
| filePro will automatically start writing new records there instead of
| to key and data. From inside filePro the segue from key to keyx1 is
| invisible.
Sorry, I tried that, and it didn;t work. A new record got added to the
existing key/dat, niot the new key1x/data1x.
| There is a facility for this in Expand Files. At the "How Many
| Additional Records" prompt, type the word "switch" instead of a
| number. However, as Mike Schwartz remembered, this only works when
| there are actual multiple filesystems, a rarity on today's machines.
