>You know, you are absolutely correct. I will move this command to the Menu and do as you have said.
"To the menu": Depending on the situation, you might also consider other options, for instance: a) A separate program (you do the maintenance yourself, or a system administrator does it), b) Invoked automatically on startup, the first of every month (single-user system).
Of course, a menu command might also be appropriate in many situations.
Unfortunately, the user needs exclusive access to be able to issue the PACK command (I was forgetting this is another reason NOT to use it for every DELETE).

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
