There are a few critical frames (e.g., ENCODE and DECODE) where
we've decided to force the user to DeFine a block every time in
order to avoid errors of inattention. While I appreciate that
specifying "/A" would indicate the opposite of inattention, some of
these frames are complex and the work involved in making even a
small change without introducing errors is nontrivial. If you have
particular frames in mind, however, let us know and we'll consider
it. In the meantime, remember that frame DFA ("DeFine All") DeFines
the entire file, using a reliable procedure that accounts for quirks
associated with non-eXPanded display types. I have it assigned to
Ctrl-A, to mirror the CUA keystroke, and use it all the time:

30=NOJM(,2,.,d,f,a,)

Sure.
