- Actually, I have to correct you also. Coedit will allow a user to create
- a _temporary_ blank record with the Ins command. But you cannot post the
- record if there already is one and you have key fields. As long as the
- record is unposted (post with LOCKRECORD), no one else can see it; it is
- essentially private.
