Actually, I had keyed "bag1", "bag2", etc. But I figured the "bag" prefix was
redundant (at least in this case). If I was inventorying 8448, where there are
several boxes, each with multiple bags, I'd use a notation like "box1.bag3", or
something.

It could help anyone dealing with parting-out multiple copies of the same set.
Especially if they are selling or trading parts out of a set, and want to
'touch' each set as few times as possible.
For example, in my last parts sale, I had the following sets:
: 6 copies of 6441 Deep Reef Refuge <http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=6441>
: 3 copies of 8250 Search Sub <http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=8250-1>
: 7 copies of 7111 Droid Fighter <http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?query=7111>
To save some time on packing, I opened all the sets, left the pieces in the
baggies, and put identical baggies together. That way, if someone had bought
all of the tan 3x3 round-corner plates, I could easily get all the pieces, once
I found one of the bags.
To save even more time, I packed several orders at once (usually, as many as I
had ready to be packed). That way, I could grab one set of baggies, and check
all the orders to see if there were pieces in those baggies for the orders. If
I packed orders individually, I would have had to 'touch' each set of baggies
more times, once for each order.
This wasn't a perfect system, more of an art than a science. But it was better
than the alternatives.

| Ok, for multiple sets I can see how it helps. I just hate to give up another field in that 80-character line. I guess I should just give up on the 80-character line.... John C. In lugnet.db.inv, Steve Bliss writes: [SNIP] (...) (25 years ago, 1-Mar-00, to lugnet.db.inv)
