They responded very quickly, but not with the information I had hoped
for:

Thank you for contacting Square D/Schneider Electric.
The solid neutrals for our loadcenters are built into the interiors.
There
are no UL rated supplemental neutrals made for that purpose. The only
solution is to change the service.
I hope this will take care of you. Please contact us again if we can be
of
further assistance.

I'm not sure this is true of the older panels. The two tapped holes in
the
front of the bus look as if they would accommodate an auxilliary bar and
the
illustration on the panel label shows a configuration with three bus
bars,
not the two that are in the panel. Sigh The search continues . . .
Wht not just get a grounding kit and move over some grounds to free up
some holes on the neutral bar. There should be tapped holes an a
couple of places in the enclosure for ground bars. I still like to
jumper them back to the neutral with a fat wire but the 10/32 screws
are OK by code for ground busses.
If I decide to go that route, I will certainly jumper the ground bus to the
neutral with the thickest wire I have, which is either a 10 or a 8. As I
noted in the previous post, moving the grounds that are connected to the
neutral bus to their own bus will free up exactly enough wires to
accommodate all of the available breaker positions, as the box was probably
designed to do.
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
