    R. Robert Bell's "LFD" function works great for deleting named layer
    filters, but it also deletes "Layer Standards Filters" (as opposed to
    Property Filters), even if you enter a wildcard match.

    In the little time that I had to look at it, a drawing with zero (0)
    'Properties Filters', zero (0) 'Group Filters', and one (1) 'Standards
    Filters' includes a single item in "ACLYDICTIONARY", named "*A1" -
    regardless of the actual name of the standards filter. Of course this is
    why the wildcard match doesn't work

    Is there some way to access Standards Filters by their actual name?

    The goal here is to delete *all* layer filters (properties, group,
    standards) except a certain one with a known name. I can modify "LFD" to
    exclude "*A1", but there is no guarantee that "*A1" will be our named
    Standards Filter.

    TIA

    Thanks, I have not had time to look at the code, but I trust I can
    figure out where these actual filter names are stored.
    Yes.
