An example of what you can do is on the fptech web site under Quick 
Links: filePro Plus® on-Line Manual. 
<http://www.fptech.com/Products/Docs/fpmanhtm/startfrm.htm>

Once the online manual appears, enter the word "browse" in the search 
box at top right, then click the Go button.  In the resulting frame at 
the left, click on the link labeled: "Browse Lookup Example".  In the 
resulting frame on the right, scroll down to the processing label "brw1" 
for the input table for filepro file " npiwarestand".  Starting there, 
the next several lines show the proper syntax for defining a browse 
lookup where the header definition is stored in a dummy field.

Examples of such technique are also in the help screens for "lookup" 
when in define processing.  And the help screens have been updated for 
"lookup" in 5.7.04.07.  But I like the example in the on-Line Manual at 
the fptech site better, since it separates the definition into three 
parts - browse lookup header, options, and the data specification (for 
each record to be shown in the browse), where each part is assigned to a 
dummy field.
