Duane,
I forget how I found it...it may have been prompted by finding out there was such an option in NM ksam. I do remember being intrigued by Alfredo (I think) showing the NUMBERS command in query once - not documented, not in helps - but found by simply printing the program code in char mode and looking at string sequences that look like commands or options. NUMBERS shows the set and record numbers of records currently in the found list.

Well that is a good undocumented feature :-)

Thanks for showing the example. How did you ever stumble on
this... accident or HPRC call?
