show only browse

[Bruce Easton]

  OK - I rushed that a bit - two corrections:

the first Then line should be sn=@sn
and the lookup line would be invalid without a k= or r= and index if 
necessary and
other appropriate flags
(and i'm pretending the lookup definition - ba thru bc is defined 
elsewhere in the table)
