 >> If a key is found and a record is read on a chain/reade the indicator is set
off.  If a key is found for a setll the indicator is set on.

It seems to me that this is the real inconsistency.  The original indicator
implementation was just plain silly, but maintaining compatibiulity for good or
bad will do this to you.

 >> but I would rather have a consistent representation when the expected
operation works or doesn't work.

This is exactly why I don't understand your problem with the BIFs.  Now that you
have %Found (as opposed to no record found) I would have said that have greater
consistency.  I agree that a general "it worked" indication would be nice, but I
suspect they felt that people would want the one-to-one relationship with the
old method.
