My problem is to convert Sketches stored Embedded in General Fields to Memo fields so that I can subsequently use COPY MEMO TO to create a file for an ActiveX 3rd party sketching program.

This... because there is no COPY GENERAL TO ... command!

Must I write a low-level I-O program to copy existing Sketches to files and then APPEND MEMO FROM or is there a way to change the Header of the DBF to make the "General" Field a "Memo" field? Can I get away with this caper.. or is there something that would prohibit me from doing this? Finally, can this be done without rewriting the entire DBF?
