Sort/Selection processing

[Richard Kreiss]

How about setting a global value in auto as John has suggested and use @once
processing to check on continuing or not. The first record has not been
selected at this point.  One could use the menu command with one option
"Print".  Otherwise press <X> to exit.

Also, if you use either suggestion and don't currently have an auto process
table, you might want to call it rauto ( for report auto) and use the -y
option on the command line to call it.  This avoids having the auto process
run in IUA or when you don’t need it.
