Booth,

I'm not sure what you mean by "Just do your subfile loop again,
with no load." It's a load-all subfile, so all the records are
loaded. I just want, for example, for SflRRN #4 to be displayed on
the first line of the screen.

As far as using the mouse and scroll bars are concerned,
unfortunately support for that is emulator dependent. In this case,
we need to be avoid using a feature that depends on "special" support
from an emulator.

The functionality I'm looking for is similar to a full screen line
editor, like SEU. So if I want to copy a line, I would put a "C" in
the subfile option source field and an "A" on the line I want the
copied line to follow. I want full control of which page displays
after the copy and where I want the cursor to end up.

I think what Booth meant (although I don't want to put words into his mouth) is that you just have to do your EXFMT again and then do your READC loop (or however you process your subfile).

Here's the thing: once you decide you need to change the top record, simply set the value of the SFLRCDNBR field and then perform the EXFMT. Should work like a champ. I do it all the time.
