The suggstion is based on the assumption that these fields are being used
for data storage only, without need for direct user interaction (are you
having the user tab through 10,000 fields? <g>).

If that's correct, rather than:

  put fld 999 into tMyVar

...you could have:

  put the u999 of this cd into tMyVar

...and save the overhead of having field objects for holding data.  Custom
properties are faster as well, almost as fast as accessing globals.
