PGP shortcut different from full command entry for BLOCKREPLACE

[Seneb]

One of our users has added BB to his PGP for the BLOCKREPLACE command. However, when he types in BB, the dialog box doesn't come up. It just prompts a menu in the command line. Any idea why this happens, or how to modify it to bring up the dialog?

There, that's it.

We have a company PGP and a company defined set of lisp functions, neither bear much resemblance to anything out of the box. Contents and descriptions for both are well published and subject to change with little notice. Users are extremely discouraged from using their own PGP or lisp functions. We have a highly customized modeling environment that builds and extracts a great deal of data into/from the models. An errant function or mis-pointed short-hand could jeopardize the intelligence of the components or the built-in standardization, and that is unacceptable.

Users are encouraged to provide feedback in various ways and offer any suggestions for increased performance.

I'm surprised that such a highly customized intelligent environment
can be brought to a screeching halt by a simple user shortcut. I'm
guessing this environment has been in place for a while and the "if
it ain't broke don't fix it" policy comes into play.

I'm guilty of using that policy sometimes but in such an environment
as you've described I'd be inclined to make it more "bullet-proof".
