...yup, but that wasn't the point. The use of DF as a bookmark is a kluge,
plain and simple. But CP (or its equivalent as used in XyWrite's "native"
bookmarks) has its drawbacks, too. BTW, you can also use the "stop codes" in
the Advanced menu as named bookmarks -- but then, for convenience's sake you
have to use the menus and my ENHANCEments to list the stop codes and jump to
them. They're impervious to upstream changes in text, but they tend to stick
around in the file.
