I'm afraid this might be a bit too ugly to take on at this stage, but there
was an issue with image b-trees and dbfind that I would like to see fixed.
IIRC, do a wildcard find on a master, then try to read thru the found entries,
and for each, dbfind detail under the master and read them.  After hitting the
detail, the next dbget on the master would get confused and report
end-of-chain.

Also, remember the good ol' days in the classics when we could see spoolfile
%-printed ?  With network printing and large printer buffers, is that maybe
still worth having ?

Then there is the my special pet peeve -- I often type comments into jobs like
'this/that' or 'and/or' and often the characters after the slash are replaced
by spaces in the stdlist, making my helpful documentation look like incoherent
idiocy.  I can't see any valid reason for character substitution in comments.

Also I want to endorse a most of Donna's requests.  Bug fixes are always good
even if I haven't hit those bugs (yet).  Help cleanup is good too (I once
wasted time looking trying to research a non-existent 'quote' function after I
found it at the tail end of the 'pos' help).  And I like the idea of acctinfo
& groupinfo functions, even if I don't need them (yet).
