Just a 2 observations, which may or may not be obvious, to this wonderful
programming addition to the usual browse lookups.

1. If you use - V - to popup a screen, you have the option to popup a different
screen based on the view being presented.

2. pkeep doesn't work.  If you have more then records than are shown, scrolling
left or right will return to the starting browse record.

In discussing this with Nancy Palmquist, in the chat room today, I changed the
lookup value to an uncast dummy field. When the scroll option is selected, this
field is set to the value of the index field that the highlight is on.  This
will duplicate the action of pkeep.
