Yes, I think it's quite clear what you want, but what's your problem?

If I see it right you implicitly complain about the non-existing
relational capabilities of Clipper, forcing you to explicitly
program operations like APPEND or DELETE etc. on secondary tables
if a record in the primary table is APPENDed or DELETEd etc...,
don't you??

Sorry, but you have to do this in any case, whether you are in the
dbedit environment or in a pure Clipper SAY/GET/READ environment.
