James,

A small point, but I remember doing a DSPPFM on a file which was having
records added.  By positioning to the end of file, then rolling up and
back down, the new records were displayed as they were added.

I don't have a way to test if this behavior is present on current
systems, but I know that it used to be there.

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
