I got gutsy, made a backup of *records* edited it off line and put back a 
new copy, did save changes ... and my SOA's look great. WOW, just saved 13 
yrs of change making.

Assuming I didn't do something really stupid by doing this, please let me 
know, can I also add/delete various lines and make changes this same way?

Thanks!!
