Browse Lookup - Messages

Doing a browse lookup from within processing, is there a way to turn off
the "Beginning of File" and "End of File" that are displayed.  Maybe I'm
missing something but it seems to me when you are controlling the browse
lookup from processing, these messages are ugly, and kind of meaningless
or confusing to the user.

For example, when I am on the Order Header record, the user presses "I"
to inquire the Line Items.  A browse lookup is called that shows:

LI#    Part#           Description       Qty Ordered


The five line items are displayed in the browse lookup window and at the
bottom left had corner of the browse lookup window is shown "End of
File".  What's that mean to the user?  Nothing.  If the user has the
first line item highlighted in the browse window and they press the up
arrow, "Beginning of File" is displayed in the upper left hand corner of
the browse window.  I can live with that one because at least it only
happens when the user does something stupid like pressing the up arrow
with the first the first entry already highlighted.

These messages mess up the aesthetics of the browse lookup window.  Is
there a way to turn them off.

Regards,

Scott
