  Problem Statement

  The following is extracted from a message posted by ron 70671, 156:

  When appending records to a file and successfully writing to and unlocking
  that record, a SKIP -1, or lookup with the SEEK command, results in the
  record pointer going to EOF(). GO TOP and GO BOTTOM do not work and
  neither does SKIP -1.
