I had deleted almost all records - except for 2 - but had forgotten the 
command VACUUM;. That is why the database file remained so large, which 
is now only 650kB.

I will take this advice seriously and keep it in mind for further 
enquiries in the ML.
Right, I had forgotten the instruction `Stop Event `.

All right, the message is a warning with a general reference. My only 
concern was to suppress this general warning and replace it with a 
separate, more meaningful message. This is obviously not possible 
without interfering with the Gambas source text.
