Sort/Selection processing

[John Esak]

Hmm, I forget does numrecs() return the number of records in the file,
period, or the number of used records?  For this it would have to run the
freechain wouldn't it?  So the next question is if you slect all records,
does it select the ones that are not used yet along with the used records?
I don't think I've ever checked this.
