*
*  Convert a single dictionary item from Pick to Uni*Verse format. 
*
*    Arguments:
*	item          - On entry, the Pick dictionary item to convert.  
*		  	On return, the Uni*Verse item to write.
*	assoc.name    - On entry, null.  On return, the name of any
*			"ASSOCnn" phrase to write to the dictionary.
*	assoc.item    - On entry, null.  On return, the association phrase
*			named by "assoc.name"
*	result        - Boolean: returned "true" if the conversion is 
*			successful, false otherwise

*   Look for associated multivalues.  On regular Pick systems, they're 
*   specified in attribute 4 in the forms "C;AMC[;AMC...;AMC]" and "D;AMC".  
*   On a Microdata, they're specified as correlatives in the forms
*   "D1;AMC[;AMC...;AMC]" and "D2;AMC".  For convenience, we seek out the 
*   Microdata form and change it to the Pick form before processing.
