Oh that... I thought there was some problem with function in itself. Like returning wrong results occasionally
or smething like that.
As far as implementation of this possibility goes, I wld probably wrapp it all up (again) in two functions
for each side of the story, but this codebits were offered just as an idea/sketch.

Then you can have any number of extra goodies on your cursor - even an aTagInfo() array as yet another property to build indexes from on the receiving end. The whole package. Or, simpler, a script which would be execscript()ed on the client side, which would contain a Create Cursor command? That would be cool.

This is more or less idea/concept. Class object does most of the stuff, but it is all wrapped in a pair of functions for ease of use.
You use one function in source session to 'pack' cursor into an object, then pass reference of that object to receiving session
and then counter function erects fully blown cursor again on the other end. No need running any scripts at all.
BTW aTagInfo() is not bad idea at all. It is class, so there can be more things added. Like pooling captions from DBC
if it is a DBC table, or adding an extra field for record level instructions for client session etc.
Source is there, sizzle & spice according to your own taste :)
