Which shouldn't be that hard:

afiel(aF,"nameOfCursor")
lnElement=ascan(af, "myfieldname") && mind the other parameters here - case sensitivity, perhaps search only column 1
lnRow=asubscript(af, lnElement, 1) 
adel(af, lnRow)
dimension af(alen(af,1)-1, alen(af,2))

create cursor newname from array af
append from dbf("nameOfCursor")
