SELECT assigns you to an 'area'.  In each area you USE a table/file and specify the 
indexes to attach.  You then SET RELATION ON column TO another table type syntax. 

If you are lucky, the developer used CATALOGS which open all the areas at once, with 
indexes and relations. By looking at that, you can actually figure out the linking.  

Good luck.  You need it <g>
