I've always found this to be one of the nastiest limitations of Paradox.
[however, just try to have a three-line-per-record scrolling area (multi-record
form) in FoxPro].

I haven't gotten a solution to work in 3.5, and I'm stuck with 3.5 until this
project is done.  However, it seems that it should be doable with two windows
in Paradox 4.0:  Top window links, for instance in my case, Patient to Visit,
and second form links Visit to Lab Test.  When you move to a visit on the top,
you sneak over to the other form and zoom to the right record.
