pkeep problem

[John Esak]

Howie,
I dont' really know. I did send a provable bug with "pkeep" to the folks,
wherein you *had* to set the key to "1" when browsing a numeric field type
of 6,.0 (all numerics I think. If you used k=(""), it simply would always
return to you to the top of the browse window. Setting the k= to k=("1")
*fixed/es" the problem. The 6,.0  fields all started at 100000 so there was
no *real* difference, yet k=("") did/does not work, and k=("1") does/did. I
have not checked this behavior since 5.0.14 came out. It *may* be fixed...
but I doubt it. Perhaps, it is similar to what you are experiencing?
