First off, this isn't the usual dumping problems that I see most people encounter with a quick search.
My issue is that the area-select dumping designation (d-b-d I believe it's supposed to be) does not exist, along with the entire d-b submenu listed
here.
I'm hoping that I can just add them to the interface.txt file (below), but I'm not sure of the commands or whether that will cause my game to explode.

As you can imagine, it can get pretty tiresome having to manually select an entire room's worth of rock for hauling, one by one by one by one by one by one...
EDIT: I'm using version 40d.
(NB: This problem also applies for the "Find Site" option when choosing a location to embark. While that is less of an annoyance, if one solution fixes both problems then great!).
Massive thank yous to any who can help!
