Sorry; you are right of course.  I remembered QUSRTOOL used the savf
method but mismembered what it did after that and didn't think about
it before posting.  I just checked, it writes the deleted records to a
new file in a different library where you have to decide which
record(s) to merge back into the original file.

I was just mentioning QUSRTOOL in passing because I think Dave
McKenzie's direct display/retrieval is alot slicker.  BTW, it only
uses MI to retrieve the data.  It uses regular disk operations to add
deleted records back to the file.  A neat utility to have in the
toolbox "just in case".  I have not (yet) had to use it.
