Rich, >> But I don't know how to put it any more exactly than "MEMFRM.TXT file in Lib #14. << One problem may be in the use of Library Numbers (eg, Lib #14). Unless you happen to browse the Library overview information (remember, not everyone reads the manuals!), it is not clear what library #14 is. When the user enters the library, only the library section titles are given, not the numbers. So, unless you know that Lib#14 is the OPA section, you don't know where to look. We either need to start giving libary file references in terms of the library name (eg., OPA) or have an easily accessible and visible table of name-to-number conversions. — JohnN.
