Dave:
It was for those very reasons that an early excursus in:
Seow, C.L``. A Grammar of Biblical Herbrew. Rev. Edn. Nashville: Abingdon, 
1995.
is devoted to BDB, its organisation, and how best to use it.

Very helpful, AFAIR -- I just cannot put my hand on it at the moment.

Regards,

P.S
What you call the condensed edition of BDB -- other list members take note 
-- is a facsimile edition, and very, very clunky to move through.

OTOH, what Logos call their  Enhanced edition -- originally produced in 
2000, but significantly upgraded to match the Libronix system [ the file is 
BDB.LBXLLS, date stamped August 14 2003 ] -- sidesteps all your problems by 
linking directly to any word in any verse.
