Follow up from last week: I contacted a former co-worker who has contacts with some of the folks that worked with Dick Pick back in the original days. This guy said that when they were brain storming about how to develop the original Pick database, they talked about a way to point to things quickly, thus the "Q" in a Q-pointer stands for Quick.
I would not stake my life on this answer, but this looks like the most accurate answer so far. John _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
