Right.  This is one of the jobs I have on my list for the 7.8 release.

I should get the SSEC distribution of 7.8 at the end of May.  I hope
to be able to make the Unidata modifications to this distribution and
release it by mid July.

>Thanks for your help!

The Fkey menu has mostly been ADDEized, and then next Unidata McIDAS-X
addendum will take a couple more steps in that direction.  I should be
announcing the availability of the 7.705 addendum by the end of this week.
Since Alan is on the mcidas-x email list, he will get the notification
of the availability of the new addendum.
