dBase does not save a file until the next USE is issued.  I have noticed some
erratic problems with adding new data to files, and trying to get it back immed-
iately.  A kludge to work around the problem of retrieving recently used records
is to give one or more USE commands, and re-use the original file.  The USE is
supposed to write out the file, but I say 'one or more' because it may take a
few to work.  I hopr you are not working with a canned program.  The use
command involves overhead by writing to the disk.
