Anybody experienced in the *GRID SCIENCE* please help :)

I have a grid bounded to a small cursor (about 5-6 records).
SET DELETED is ON.
I refresh the grid after each APPEND and DELETE.

1. I add few (let's say 3) records (append blank). The grid is OK and refreshed properly.

2. I delete all 3 records, one by one. Grid refreshes ok. After deleting the first record, recno() goes to 3 (i.e. eof). The grid is empty as it supposed to be.

3. I APPEND BLANK another time (that would be record # 4). After refresh, the grid still does not show the new record! However, recno() is 4, vertical slidebar moved a little bit, but, again, no sign of the new record. DoScroll(), mouse dance and headache medicine dont help...

4. If I add another record (adjacent to rec.#4), after refresh I see BOTH records. As long as I have at least one non-deleted record, everything goes fine. But if , God forbid, I delete everything, the grid goes blind.

Once again, this is VFP 3.0b.

Any Great Ideas ?
Thanks.
Steve.

PS: Another solution to my problem would be the a quick way to somehow PACK the cursor, i.e. permanently erase all deleted record...
