	I have been unable to come to grips with the syntax requirements
needed for Datatrieve.

	The position is like this:
o	there are two domains, records and files
o	i am attempting to use the "cross" and "over"
o	for a file of 1000 records the procedure needs almost an hour
	of cpu time.
apparently it does a sequential read to get the corresponding record from
the second file corssed over with. CAN THIS BE ELIMINATED?

I tried to define a domain with fields from both the files, however
this type restricts me from printing individual fields and their subtotals.
I am only able to print the whole collection.
IS THER A WAY AROUND THIS?

	I shall be obliged if anyone could shed light.
