Great. Develop it and I'll include it. This subject has been discussed at
length at least twice on this list. The discussions go nowhere because the
people who think tags are such a good idea (I'm not one of them) are not
willing to invest the time to develop a tags-based facility.

HOW TO ASK FOR TECH SUPPORT
When requesting technical support, please generate a problem report, using
the JDE->Help->Submit Problem Report command, and submit this report along
with your help request. The Submit Problem Report command is designed to
gather all the information that someone who does not have direct access to
your system might need to solve your problem. It saves people who want to
help you from having to waste time trying to dig relevant information out
of you. Please note that if you do not get a response to a question, it may
be because you did not provide sufficient information to solve the problem.
Filing a problem report is the best way to ensure that you get a response.
