[APBeta] Issue with new user-defined fields

[Paul Rodman]

I haven't yet implemented the user field columns in the object list.  
It's quite nasty. However, it is on my to-do list.

There are several issues with the column ordering, enable/disable/  
etc. that need to be addressed. I need to set aside a day or two and  
concentrate on getting that working. Soon.
