Hi
I apologise if this has been discussed before, but does anyone know how 
to edit the reference label numbers.  If you delete a reference, instead 
of the new reference taking its place (ie its number) the new ref gets 
put on the end and you potentially end up with large numbers in your ref 
base even though you have much less physical refs.  I have been able to 
get around this by copying all the refs to a new library where they all 
get assigned new numbers, but this is not a good solution because it 
would mean changing the physical numbers on your actual references.  What 
happens if you want to have copy of a reference in two libraries, surely 
you would want it to have the same #number. How do you do this.

Thanks
