concern... wishlist item...

[John Esak]

Someone came into the FP Room today and was telling me about a "bug" in the
lookup wizard. It wasn't showing him his indexes when he pressed F6. We
learned that he was doing a lookup to a qualifier.  This, of course, was the
reason he wasn't seeing his indexes. The rcabe program has no concept that
you are going to be running in this qualifier or that. I had him put an
@qualname on the filename prompt in the wizard and his indexes immediately
showed up under F6.

I explained to him that the program couldn't/shouldn't just show you *all*
the possible indexs because there can be a virtually unlimted number of
qualifiers. I suggested that maybe a field for qualifier be put up after F6
is pressed so that a specific qualifier is typed in, only that set of
indexes would appear. If left blank, the main unqualified set of indexes
would show.

I'll go find the new way to submit a wish list item to FP Tech and do it.
