Sure, you should be able to write the record with the new key and then delete the existing record. The trouble comes in making sure another record doesn't already exist with the new key.

I am always using what I call 'PreStore' command... In the AE editor, I need to change Attb 2 from A]thisbad]C]D to be A]thisgood]C]D on a list of items... So I get the list, AE FILENAME and then... =FIX 2`R/thisbad/thisgood/`FI`=FIX Viola! The data is updated. I have a need to 'fix' a KEY to a record... Is there a way to use a PreStore command that could do that? It's 95 records. Too many to hand edit. Too few to write a program. A PreStore would be JUST RIGHT... if there was a way to do it!
