Multiple lookups to the same file with different aliases?

[Jay R. Ashworth]

You can't do that, right?

If I need to work on 2 records in the same file, I have to just look
one up, do all my work there, and then move on to the second one?

How common is it to need to have two lookups open to the same file at
the same time?

ISTR Ken saying that as long as you don't CLOSE the file, the stuff
stays cached, so the only real hit is that it make the code harder to
read; is that correct?

(Since we all seem to need the work shown for us on this list :-), by
"harder to read", I mean to imply that my protocol for posting code is
to attempt everything that can possibly fail first, so that if anything
*does*, I can END or EXIT (as necessary) before doing anything I can't
roll back.  If you can't have more than one 'actual' lookup open to a
given file at a time, this means that I'm going to have to duplicate at
least one lookup, if I'm interpreting it correctly.)
