Senility has set in here, Steve. I don't get the reference.< s >

>Extremely difficult at a minimum. TEDIT is a bad option...it only applies when doing MODI COMM or from within PM. TEDIT option is not used when an error occurs, suspending the program. Program files may not recompile after saving from an external editor, so may end up using an out of date .FXP files. TEDIT provides no mechanism for modifying an entire VCX class at once.

Maybe so. I know it's not something I'm pursuing. Still the file formats of the SCX, VCX, and MNX files are well documented. If you couldn't do a MODI COMM (GETFILE('VCX')) to invoke the TEDIT option, perhaps you could generate the necessary tables (when desired) from prg files.
