This seems to work OK. However, now that SP3 allows COMPILE it should also support the commands above. Maybe some day.

Rich,
That's true, there is no automatic compile after MODIFY COMMAND, either. You must execute the COMPILE command specifically. I haven't tested this, but you can't do a COMPILE DATABASE in the runtime with SP3?
