Sideways Scrolling a Browse

The most rational way I could get it to work was to edit the lookup
line and then add the following lines before and after it.

  Then: ky = 1
  Then: lookup det=test_det k=ky i=A -ng b=(b_cfg & b_hdr & b_data)
  Then: ky = 1 { det(3)

If an R or L is typed, the highlighted line moves to the top of the
browse screen with the appropriate View (1, 2 or 3) displayed and
remains highlighted.  Typing R or L sideways scrolls this line.

One can use the up or down arrows or page up or down keys to highlight
other browse records and sideways scroll them likewise.  

I had to rebuild the index.A in the detail file to be built on field
1 with length 9 (rather than 6) and make the first 3 characters in
field 2 a series from 001 to 999 (simulating line item numbers).
