Hello everyone,

		I had a minor question (w/ two parts)

1-	Is there anyway to get an index bar that shows the amount of database
	indexed at a particular instance (w/o geting into memory resident 
	programs). I tried using a function that replicates itself but it does
	not work (i.e. INDEX ON function(field) to NTX ).

2-	Before a READ, how can we find out the position of the cursor (i.e.
	which GET field it is in).


	I will really really....appriciate any help.
