 I also found that VERY annoying.

The only problem that we're facing here is that the header needs to be
changed when sending from an 86 to an 85.  The 86 recognizes both the headers
of it's own line and that of the 85s.  Because the 85 is older than the 86 it
doesn't recognize the header and gives the link error.  A plug in program
that would edit the attached header while in the link mode would eliminate
this problem. 
And also about the plug in programs.  if everytime one is made by us if we
could actually combine them so that they would only take up one block... and
thusly we could fit more of them onto our calcs.
