Sherry, I did NOT intend to suggest any changes or improvements. I just think that it may help the general user if a few instructions were provided as to what the intent is of the programmers when certain area of code is done.
It appears to me, that most users are NOT using the "Locations" as the programmers intended them to be used. Having been using computers since the late 70's and having dealt with many different programs on and off the job, I have found that the programmers thinking is not on the same wave link as the user or vise versa. The major programs which I was first exposed to computer were/are CAD/CAM programs. At that time most programmers did not even know what a engineering drawing was let alone how to prepare one. It took many years for them to understand what the drawing standards were/are, but they did learn. Later on, the users were trying to outguess the programmers and the new engineering staff was no longer being taught the drawing standards as the computer would do them for them.

I really don't recall seeing many suggestions for changing the format for locations from the way they're formatted in Legacy. Suggestions need to be sent in through the "channels" for them to be reviewed and logged. We don't always get a chance to follow the threads on the LUG list and it's not really the best place to make suggestions for design changes. ..
