Interesting problem.

Some years ago I wrote a filePro processing table that would
immitate the then discontinued filePro "bclerk" program that
would let users of Radio Shack's laptops continue using them
on later versions of filePro.

I never sold any of that program, but I continue to use it on
my SCO OSR 5.0.6 system to get quick entry to my filePro data
base from the command line.  It reads/writes to files, browses
them, and imitates IUA in all ways in a small window.

If this is of interest to you, contact me off line and we'll
talk about it.
