Once again and as always the MPE community is helpful.    I'm finding myself
using this forum more often.

I see from these numerous posts and from some private email that we have one
solution.  ACDs.  A third party package vendor may be interested in
modifying a package to help.

My original post was intended to indicate that the use of ACDs seems
difficult to me.

Example 1: when I want to see any ACD for my group I do a LISTFILE for the
group with a "-2".  I get a list of every file in the group.  Not the
intended list of only the ACD definitions.

Example 2: I want to change every ACD which points to my group to instead
point to another group but I can't just enter a command to do so.
