Right, I understand and I didn't suggest to use recno(). I suggested to add number in the underlying cursor. One of the ways would be to do it after the fact, e.g.

select fields, cast(0 as int) as RowNumber from myTable into cursor curGrid readwrite

replace RowNumber with recno() in curGrid all && this will add 1,2,3, etc. numbers to the cursor
