- Well, after tinkering, I've got a sorted ACTIVE file but I still
- have the .grouplist sorted the way I like it. It's working so far (but I'm
- hanging onto beta rel2.

- I removed this and I believe it still did. It doesn't anymore.
- Also, beta rel2 didn't crash (it looks like the dup had been there quite
- sometime). I guess the crash on dup is a new feature of the release
- version (?). Something like that should probably have been anticipated as
- part of the idiot-proofing of the program, and arnmaster should have never
- allowed it in the first place. It's unknown if the new arnmaster fixes
- this as I manually removed the problem.

- I recall that Roland removed many CTRL function. My source of
- information _IS_ from the online help. I still can't quick quit or post.
- You talk about 'E'. I'll look into that again.
