Then I was able to get what I wanted. Sometime if I???m bored I may move them back one at a time until I find which ones are ???interfering??? with mine. Clearly I???d prefer to have any compatible one in place. I also renamed mine so they began with an ???a??? and showed up at the head of the list.

Instead of laboriously copying files to find the problematic one, you just
need to find one that has the same dbfinfo line as yours.

   grep -l `grep 'dbfinfo=' my.dbfawk` /usr/local/share/xastir/config/hold/*.dbfawk

This should print out the file name of the one that has the same signature as
'my.dbfawk'.
