That only lets me add one field.  well, it lets me add many, but only the first
one makes it back to the table.  if I apply, close, open only the first field is
displayed, both on the table and the list of fields.

It will add FK's when I create relations, so I do know it can display more than
one field.

Thanks for the clear answer. :)  dbd4 it is, and I will import into WB often and
continue the bug reports.

as long as I have your attention, WB is giving me quite a few "Aborted (core
dumpted)" crashes.  Where are the dump files?
