Copy out all and delete the 40bonn.dat file. Don't delete the 40bonn.idx
file. This is your portfolio and all names. Scary I know. But then paste
all back in this will consolidate all previously deleted contracts. If this
sound scary make a back up of your .dat file with and x copy first. Call
omega for confirmation and details.
