The tip is don't use INPUT ARRAY. :-) Use a standard SCROLL CURSOR with an ARRAY form. Put a menu across the top, with NEXT, PREV, FIRST, LAST..., etc. Map the cursor keys to NEXT and PREV, then use the SCROLL command to move things up or down and display the appropriate record in the blank. If you're clever, you can then implement the skip routine lost in PERFORM, so that 4P or 4<UP ARROW> will move you 4 records up etc. Hope that helps, -- Mark. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Mark D.
