After reading mail and seeing the number of request for "Pick List"
help, I thought I would share some code with those of you that have
asked for help.

NOTE: Credit where Credit is DUE!
These programs are modifications of the PD_SCRL article that appeared
in DBMS.  I don't have the article here at work, or I would give you
issue, author and date.

I like this approach to a pick/tag list because:
 1. This code will work in dBASE III, Foxplus, DBXL, & Clipper
    on a PC and three Unix systems that I have done apps. for.
 2. It is simple and easy to modify this code for a special purpose, 
    Tag is a good example. 

NOTE: Tag requires a field named "T".  Type "C", len 1.  I know you
      array freaks will flip out, but the 1 character field is a
      small price to pay for the Tag feature and I don't get memory
      errors in databases that have 25,000+ records.

To rplay with the code, load your DBXL, Fx or what ever and say "DO PICK".
There are three .PRG files and a small database.

Hope this helps those of you that were looking for PICK help.
