SEEK is quite different to LOCATE. LOCATE can start either from the beginning or from the current position, depending on the options. SEEK doesn't even have an option - it does a binary (tree) search on the entire index. Nor do you have the option to CONTINUE (go to next record that specifies the criteria), but since the records are already in order (because of the index selected), you can use SKIP and see if the next record still matches your criteria.
