Well, yet another case of RTFM!

After a more carefull reading of the manual (of sorts) I discovered
that there is a command to do exactly what I wanted to do:

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS/Convert xx(A4) EA's/:

You tell ReSource where A4 is pointing, and it will create either
absolute (MOVE.L A6,lbL00876) or relative (MOVE.L A6,lbL00876-DT(A4) )
symbols. You can then change the label to a more meaningful name.

ReSource is a real slick product, but learning it is a real pain!

I am using the Demo version now. Does anyone know if it is sold
via mailorder houses, or do I have to buy it direct from the distributor
(and pay list price)?
