Thanks to everyone who responded to my query about using 'blank'
id numbers.  My goal was to find a way to 'trick' Endnote, i.e.
use the known blanks.  This would, of course, require that the
user would be very certain that the reused numbers were in fact
cleared (used nowhere else, etc.).
  As I have used other programs, especially those which use
AASCII files, it is easy to 'get in' the files and alter the
information to achieve one's devious purposes.  Thought that there
might be a way to do this in endnote.
  I realize that the numbering system is virtually limitless, but
I thought that there might be a way to 'reclaim' the unused numbers.
Thanks again,
    D. Berg
  Incidently, the question still stands......if there is a way.
