  Of course!  Why couldn't *I* think of using that filename?????  ;-)  
Believe it or not, I HAD thought of creating a file of 2-field records (it 
was the only obvious thing I could think of in WP51DOS that seemed likely to 
work), but was unable to figure out how to tell WP how to make use of it in 
its directory listings.  I found 2 more books on WP51 since posting my query, 
and they didn't have anything about directory aliases either.
  Anyhow, I downloaded your answer and tried the method you described.  It 
does work.  Thanks!
