That is a good solution. The way I ended up 'fixing' it was to Select All and
then copy them into another new database. They all copied up until the letter
'P'. Then I went into my database (the trashed one) and pressed 'q' which
brought me to the first reference beginning with 'q'. I used the up arrow until
the program locked. When I entered the program the second time, I jumped to
'q' and the used the up arrow to get to the entry just before the previous
lock (in this case it was the last name 'Paul') then I selected the entire rest
of the database and Copied it to the new database. In this way, I was only
missing 12 references, from 'PAA' to 'PAUl".

That's the way I handled it and everything seems to be ok now. Thanks to
Jeroen for his suggestions!

Let's see what Avi will say when she gets back from her Thanksgiving feast.
