new discovery Re: Headings report - text-based and Millennium

[Amy Tsuji <atsuji at mail dot sdsu dot edu>]

Althought this thread was discussed nearly a month ago, I want to share 
what I discovered by accident this morning re Carol Gyger's paragraphs 
below.  Thank you, Carol.
(I started using Millennium heading reports about the beginning of October; 
I do also use the character-based reports for some categories because I 
find it so much easier to limit by user and/or terminal number.)

In fact, for good measure, I searched all other categories to find any more 
"lost" souls--  found entries in First time use, updated headings, near 
matches and non-unique 4xx.  Aren't I fortunate that I can now take care of 
those, too!  Not.
