[TRLog] POST U E S

After the 10m contest, I decided I'd attempt to add some names to my
TRMASTER.DTA file.  Rather than do this call by call with POST, I figured
I'd be better off to edit TRMASTER.ASC, because as I paged through it, I'd
stumble across calls that I knew names for but probably wouldn't be calls
I'd specifically try to add names to.

So, I POST U E S'd TRMASTER.DTA, then POST U E A'd it & went off to edit
the .ASC file.

I now have a 250-odd kB .ASC file with blocks of alphabetized data, not a
file that's in alphabetical order from end to end.  This wouldn't be a
problem, if it weren't for everything else I have that can sort chokes on a
file so long.

Perhaps my expectation of alphabetical order is wrong, or is this normal?
