Re: overriding IBM's options on PDM

The "real" problem, in my opinion, is that even if you could "override"
numeric PDM options, what IBM does is "different" depending on
what "member type" or "object type" you place the option next to.

IMHO, Ken Kelley and the gang at Advanced Systems Concepts (ASC)
"got this right" with their Abstract/Probe+ product -- it has 3-character
"options", and you COULD override "built-in" options, whether numeric
or not... and, it even lets you define different actions to be performed for
 the same "option", based on object type... and you could even define
more than one command to be performed, separated by ";" I believe...
so it is more like a true "macro" capability... Very Nice!

Too bad IBM never incorporated some of those "good ideas" in PDM.
