Thanks.
I have thought about doing that, but my hard drive has 32K sectors.
That would eat up disk space big time. However, the thought of making
separate files with $INCLUDE does have merrit. However, I will need to
ZIP them up when not in use. That's not so bad, as I don't usually
working on more than one program at a time. 
What I am doing now is program QEDIT macros to flip from proceedure to
proceedure. I may put a list of SUBS and FUNCTIONS at the top of the
file with descriptions. I will probably use DECLARE. They are not
needed for internal proceedures, but they would make a convienent list
to work off of.
Them's my idears.
