There is no tool available which can do these usefull things, or can XRef
'print' to a document and use a wordprocessor to search!!??

:   In terms of what you can print out (or browse interactively), you have
:   the option to print a Cross-reference of Commands, Global Procedures,
:   Variables, Externals, Layouts, and the Structure.  You can also print
:   all layouts and layout procedures, global procedures, menu bars, and lists.
Can be usefull for some, but I'am looking for something else. Suppose I have
a large database (#files) and delete a global procedure. It gives the same
problems when you would be able to delete files and fields. So ACIUS, why
not giving the possibility to delete files and fields? (Not the other option
:-)  )

:   XRef does a nice job digesting a ream of paper.  On a mildly involved
:   database, it is not unusual to get 200+ pages of output if you choose
:   all options.  I team XRef up with the excellent "N-up Laserwriter"
:   functionality from "DMM Laserwriter Stuff 1.3.1" in order to save my
:   small chunk of forest.
I don't see what difference XRef makes: you still can't find anything. Not
in the data-base nor on paper...

:   Now if we could just figure out why ACIUS thinks XRef needs it's own
:   color pallette....
I do hope it uses the password settings from the structure file..
