But what if I could right click on the variable NOTON and choose

new name and whether the scope is local or variable? And RDp then goes
off and renames just that variable? Preserving columns in fixed form
calculations and D specs and shifting columns in free form calculations?

The problem here of course, is that file which no longer gets updated
because those renamed fields were on an externally-described file
format. Not impossible for RDp to cater for, of course, but it would
increase the complexity of the enhancement quite considerably I would
think.

Perhaps RDp could pop a warning if I try to rename a variable defined
externally and let me decide whether to proceed or not.

I keep thinking 'if only I had access to the compiler's symbol table...'
