Robert,

Yes, I noticed the shift too, but the "new" problem seemed stable so
I didn't try to track down the cause. I *think* it might have to do
with
whether Enhance or SmartSet comes first in the merged U2 file. (I'm now
keeping
Ehanced code first, since it is shorter.)

Hmmm. I thought I had done that (via search-and-replace), but perhaps
not.

It says/said simply: UNTITLED.
If I change (carefully!!!) all Enhance S/G 01's to 301's the problem
disappears.
(I decided to use the 300's for Tim's code and the 400's for anything I
wrote.)

Probably just my confusion. I wanted to clear any "foreign" code out of
my
dlg and u2 codes. ...not necessary, I guess, but easy and safe to do...

I realize the danger (and difficulty), but it was relatively easy to
increment
*all* S/G 01's by a few hundred.

I agree. I've been adding my modifications (modest though they are) into
his
DLG file. But I've been unsuccessful at extracting his routines for the
file re-open utility, which I would like to add to XyWin.

Yes. Please. Thank you. etc.   I think Recall and Wild are the only
overlapping names, but it would be nice to be sure.

Thanks for your help. As nearly as I can tell I have both sets of
utilities
running happily together. Wow! Right some good (as we say in the
Maritimes)!
