Capturing and freezing the version of code and related comments
upon replacing the module within DSEE is a design objective,
Keith, and thus I believe your solution (work-around) is
not only the correct one, but the only one.  Note that
the command delete versions may be used to remove the
undesired generation.  In any case, whether you delete that
version or not, a reserve and replace operation with the 
corrected comment *AND AN ADDENDUM THAT NOTES YOUR ACTION
WAS PROMPTED BY A NEED TO ENTER THE CORRECTED COMMENT*
is probably the most consistant.  Since the saving of
new generations costs only the changes in the object and 
the generation storage overhead, the cost in storage
would be less than this note.

Bye.
