Press Global, Press Embeds, search the embed list for 
Hide:access:FileNameYouAreInterestedIn, look just below that for cancel and 
prime autoinc methods. Type you code in the embeds. ABC does the deriving 
for you.  Look at the generated code in appnamebc#.clw to see what is 
generated to help in understanding.  The only problem is a few of the key 
abc variables for auto inc are private (info Q) sometimes it's necessary to 
go to abfile.inc and delete the word private or change it to protected if 
you run into conflicts.  If you need to add a new class member variable to 
hold the actual autoinc value, press global, go to the classes tab and it 
can be added there or go to abfile.inc and just type it in.
