One more question about TT and ED . . .

The trouble that they have been causing with the conversion has nothing 
to do with the number of letters in their "full" names, right?  I have 
gone through and changed the snames to TTX and EDX in the appropriate 
BaBase tables, but wanted to make certain that I wasn't also supposed to 
update the name field  for each in Biograph.

Thanks,
Catherine
