So I tried this code

select * from ("c:\temp\codes") into cursor cur_temp WHERE cd_type = "TEST"
select cur_temp
use dbf() again in 0 alias Cur_Temp1
set multilocks on
CURSORSETPROP ("buffering",5,"Cur_Temp1")
select cur_temp1
brow

when I browsed cur_temp1 it was the whole table. What is that about? Is this something with rushmore? Or did I just screw something up? :)
