Edit request (was Re: Changing a fields edit type)

[scooter6 at gmail.com]

Thanks to all - I have it just about worked out....
One other question - is there a way to combine this new edit that I have
with a system defined edit ?
Meaning, I'd like to make sure it also maintains the 'uplow' portion when
doing addresses....
I've tried after the  |* | uplow}   and   | *} | uplow

I know you can combine edits that you define, but can you combine them with
the system edits?
