Thanks Phil Coulthard for the COBOL tip. 

That was aggravating.

A few things to pass on:

  - there is a new release coming! Stay tuned....
  - for COBOL customers, we have discovered the editor support
      is a little painful because insert/delete "stops" at the area A
      and area B boundaries. You can fix this by deleting this line of
      code in \adtswin\macros\cbl400.lxl and cblle400.lxl:
                 'SET FIELDS 7 8 12 72'
     This is deleted in our new upcoming release.
  - there is a neat feature in the editor we only just discovered and
      so will pass on to you here (and document in a future release):
          - use SET DEFAULT.EXPANDHIDE ON to permanently
             (until explicitly set OFF) enable the display of a '+'
character
             in the prefix area whenever the view is subsetted (as in
             Ctrl+G to show subroutines only). If you click on the plus
sign
             beside a line, the collapsed lines following it are shown. Eg,
             clicking on a plus sign beside a subroutine name will show
             just that subroutine. We think you'll like this!

Thanks.
