We have disregarded *NEW, because that will mean reopening the files
for each choice the user makes from the subfile.

David,

What is the problem with reopening files? Performance? If so, have you
actually tried it? Keeping files open for performance reasons might have
had its use in the days of the S/38 and possibly early AS/400's, but these
days it is more trouble than it's worth.
