Barry:

Thank you kind sir and please forgive the rant, I guess the cumulative
effects of 10 cups of java, coffee, not so-called language, had a
deleterious outcome!

Cheers and filed for future reference!

From a PowerHouse quick reference guide dated 1985 (version 4.0):

  640  QDD compiled dictionary file
  641  QUICK compiled screen file
  642  QUIZ compiled report file
  643  QTP compiled run file
  644  subfile that includes minidictionary
  645  QKGO execution-time parameters
  646  reserved
  647  reserved
  648  reserved
  649  interim minidictionary created by QTP

Now, this was before they supported portable subfiles. I just created a
portable subfile with a newer version (v8.19.C3) and found

  647  portable subfile minidictionary file
  648  portable subfile data file (note: the file name also has
       "Q" appended)

And finally, for newer versions, I think since 7:

  655  PHD compiled dictionary file

Sorry, don't know what 650-654 are (if anything)

HTH!
