Re: Deleting symbols from GS based on some criteria?

Jimmy,

I want to keep about 2000 out of 7000 syms. I was hoping to do something
other than selecting the one's I want to delete (or keep). This way I would
end up choosing some 5000 syms in GS, with about 2000 holes in them. And I
know I would make more than a bunch of mistakes this way....

Let me see if I can come up with something. Thanks for the suggestions Jimmy
& Michael.
