I owe you all (and Jim Andrus) an apology.  I really 
goofed big style.

I use ClipMate5 and TextPad on a daily basis but why I 
typed ClipMate5 when I should have typed TextPad is 
beyond me.  Put it down to Age, Familiarity Blur (and 
probably just one drop too many of that famous flying 
Elixir from Scotland !)
 
What follows comes from feeling a bit of an EJUT and is 
in no way intended to be an Ad.

Textpad comes with a seemingly endless trial period 
and sits on the toolbar in virtually any application 
(including the R:Prompt).  It does the things mentioned 
in my original mail (and so much more).
You can even create your own Macros and run them 
whenever and if interested, you can submit your 
routines for others to use.  www.textpad.com/  An 
eventual single user licence eventually costs $27.
 
Chest feels a bit lighter now !

Many thanks for the replies - Already convinced about 
removing # from column names - you've now made it a 
priority. (Gulp !)
 
Ben - I agree - # have been great for searches but I'm 
sure %ID will quickly become as familiar so I'll take this 
opportunity to become watertight for future .

A big THANKS for the time you all give to the List.  
There must be hundreds like me who really look forward 
to the daily learning session.

David Atkinson.
