4D Write freeze references

I have not used 4D Write in a long time. I have to convert a database from
V6.5 to 2004/V11.

How do you [programmatically] freeze references *ONLY* in the header. In the
days of 6.5 you would execute the command to show header, select all the
text, then execute the command to freeze references. This would freeze only
references in the selected text of the header. I guess the show header and
show footer commands work differently now. Any help appreciated.

Michael

You can use the WR SET FRAME command to select a given area of the 4D  
Write Document and then manipulate text in that area only.

e.g.
WR SET FRAME (area;wr right header )
WR EXECUTE COMMAND (area;wr cmd select all )
WR EXECUTE COMMAND (area;wr cmd compute references )
WR EXECUTE COMMAND (area;wr cmd freeze references )

I hope this helps
