Bill,

That makes sense.  I tried downloading the ITPCST.DEF from ecsu.zip dated
9/17 and copied it over my old ITPCST.DEF dated 8/17 and other items became
invalid!!! The 9/17 file is actually smaller than the 8/17 file, don't know
why.  I'd be grateful to you if you could send me the custom items to paste
into my file.  By the way what editor reads the *.DEF files?

Thanks again,
Tom
