To date I have not heard a response
from Doug or anyone who can answer my question about EXPAND.  It was
a simple question but there seems to be reluctance to answer it.  So
Ill ask again...

With regards to EXPAND, is the CS supposed
to return literally all instances of a repeating entry even if they fall
outside the bounds of the parameters in the VQUERY or is the stated intention
of EXPAND incorrectly / poorly phrase?
