I lost something in the move to Wildfire, the ability I'm sure I had to use a quilt to cut or "trim" a solid. In looking under 'Edit>Trim', it seems it's only to trim surfaces with other surfaces. Maybe it's hidden in some other menu, like Extend or Offset. I'm stumped. Anyone know?

I think this is what you mean, pick quilt or plane Edit/Solidify then remove material
You can 'edit-solidify' quilts either as solids (if they're closed), thin solids, or cuts. You can also solidify datum planes as cuts.

Thanks, guys, yup, that was it. Merged quilt, 'Edit>Solidiy' and pick the Remove Material button. Simple, once you know how. And maybe not the MOST obscure thing in Pro/e, just the button I couldn't figure out a good reason for trying. But subtracting one solid from another does make sense.
