Well, technically... :)

In my program, it was a simple list that users selected from.  In the
original program, there was only one pass through the display file.  The
user pressed enter and the program processed the selections.

I modified the program and added a few function keys to position the
cursor in the subfile (search feature.)

After the other messages today, I'm guessing I should have used CA10
instead of CF10 and then I could have left the READC since enter wasn't
pressed?  (Doesn't matter now since my program works and it doesn't take
very long to CHAIN through 250 subfile records.)

This probably won't make much sense without the rest of the program
logic...
