>That is an excellent ideal. However, I think arrays are limited to 65,000 records, and I don't think it would work if I hit the pgdn or pgup key.

well, skiping 5/10 records forward from the last record you were on is still better that skipping 50000 records from the top of the file
as for the the 65000 limit of arrays - using an array poperty and assign/access method you can create a "virtual" array that consists of multiple arrays also it may be enough to store just the current visible options
