*** Modes, ugh.  I know of no quicker way to "bug up" a piece of software.
 I think a better approach would be to have an ascii config file
that specifies what fields are included, and how they are related.  A
sample config file would be included for power pilots, and another for 
glider pilots.  Said config file to be of easily understood form, with
provision for embedded comments, etc.
