Niles should really expand the Find capabilities to allow searching for a
null string.

Oh, that's only 1 of many, many changes that OUGHT to be made. EN+ is fine
for inserting footnotes and formatting SHORT bibs, but it is not a database
tool. After much frustration with the limitations of its Find, Select, and
Sort functions, the annoyance of seeing only 3 fields in list view (Author,
Year, Title) AND the limitation of seeing only one record at a time; I
ported all my EN+ records to a true Mac database (Panorama, from ProVUE).
Voila--it does quick global edits, displays mucho fields (like a
spreadsheet), and lets you design other windows, so you can restyle the
data display as you please. I will still use EN+ for footnotes, but not
much else.
