Tim,

Why don't you make a browse format that displays the *t1 in one column 
and the @rn in another column.  Make a heading that tells what is what.

Use the index built on T1) and display the records that you find using 
the c&p t key that you say finds something.

It should show you the order and what record is displayed.  Then 
cut&paste the results of the search for c&p and the search for c&p t

And let us see what is displayed.  It might help.
