Re: SFL More

hmmmm... I wonder... is this a load-all subfile? Or do you add pages as
you page down? I only use load-all for subfiles and have never seen the

behavior you describe, so I am trying to come up with "what happened?
Whats different?"

found some very odd behavior after I hit the actual bottom of the

in

the subfile, anytime I hit Page Down, control was returned to my

program

rather than simply paging down within the already loaded subfile.

This loads additional pages as you page down. But unless I've lost my
mind, the system handles paging up and down within already loaded data.
After I've hit the bottom of the source file and the true end of data for
the subfile, I used the mouse to scroll back up by clicking on the scroll
bar. From that point on, I was "hosed" (don't you love that technical
term?) trying to Page Down. Like I said, more investigation would be
needed and since I've got more pressing work to do the investigation will
have to wait.
