Rob,
How do I switch between multiple OPEN databases? 
For instance, I want to open database A, create two tables, then open
database B, create two tables. I want to end up with TWO open databases,
between which I can switch with a simple db_select() command...
I would think with a notion of "current" database that there would be
"non-current," but still OPEN, databases, but maybe I'm wrong.
Thanks!

Have a look at db_compress() down near the end of database.e.
It has two databases open, and it switches back and forth
between them using db_select(path) to choose the database,
and db_select_table(name) to choose the table. Maybe you
forgot to select a table after switching databases.

You are correct. The databases are still open although you
refer to them by their file path name.

I looked for db_select in my copy of database.e but couldn't find it. Then I
downloaded the latest version and there it is. Oops.
Thanks!
