I remember in the past being able to use the form "SET.INDEX FAST.STATS
TO ./I_FAST.STATS".  However, now one has to use the key word
"RELATIVE.PATH" like this

  "SET.INDEX FAST.STATS TO RELATIVE.PATH"

The key word is within the program only - it is not in the VOC, and this
usage is undocumented. (!)  The program will prompt you to show what it
would use (./I_FAST.STATS) and ask if this is OK.


I really like the idea of using relative addressing for indexes, but I
do wish this was documented properly.  Using the word RELATIVE.PATH to
implement the capability is noted in the program header (line 17) as
being GTAR E7818 dated 05/08/05, but it appears the actual capability
was provided by E1752 of 07/12/03 (line 19).  As I say, I remember using
a relative path reference some time ago... possibly before 2001.

P.S. Can someone come up with a humorous acronym for the archetypal
nit-picking documentation-nagging grumpy old bug^H^H^Hprogrammer?  Just
wondering.
