Location of a Function

[Gregory Lypny]

Thank you for your replies, David, Ken, and Richard.

Never heard of back scripts, so I guess that's my next bit of  
homework.  I'll also look into whether it may be easier to use sub- 
stacks instead of stack files.  My reason for stack files has always  
been that they keep a project running leaner if some of the stacks  
run into hundreds of cards and some of the fields contain thousands  
of lines of data.  But that may have been more of an issue back in  
the day.

Thanks again,
