Hi there.

I am using FoxBASE+/Mac.

I am writing an application in which I would like to implement
an incremental browse to perform a search in a large file.
In other words, I would like to paint something similar to a browse
window and be prompted for a string.

As I type in a string, a highlighted bar would be moved to the
record in the browse window whose key string begins with the string
entered at the keyboard.

This can be implemented quite easily with FoxPro 2.0 PC.  But
Incompatibility prevents me from porting this routine over to
the Mac.

Is anyone familiar with a similar routine that can help me perform
an icremental browse?  If so, I would sincerely appriciate any tips
and/or techniques on implementing this.

Thanks.

-Randall.

Incidentally, is anyone out there aware of when FoxPro/MAC will
be released?  Any news on this product?
