set rect of fld f1 of cd c1 of wd w1 to rect of fld f2 of cdc2 of wd w2

[Lynch, Jonathan]

Why does the alt id need to be an integer?

And it should be addressed in this form:
Field altID xyz  not file ID xyz

Would you guys agree?

Excellent catch, Dick. I had no idea that the altID would use a 
completely different scheme from the ID.

I would think that would be an enhancement request, and given the number

of people who would use it (you, me, and Jonathan) I think we can guess 
when it would be implemented. ;)
