ah.  ok.  that clears it up a little for me.

so (if you'll bear with me) a count line that has a quick on it will
terminate accounting processing and jump straight to access
processing?

hmm...so i actually need a "pass quick" line with each "count quick"
line?  and is there some reason that "count log" seems not to work?
or is that simply not done?
