I have a .DBF file indexed on 2 numeric fields of 4 and 6 digits respectively.
More specifically, the index is built by:

		index on str(invnum,4)+str(seqnum,6) to idx_file

I would like to do a seek specifying only the first index.  I am currently
unable to accomplish this (result of seek is EOF).  Is this possible to do
and if so, how?
