I think, in many cases these commands may be very useful.
For example, if you want to provide cancelling of record appending.
Here brief description of idea:
DO FORM EditForm WITH .T. && New record
PROCEDURE INIT(AppendMode)
IF AppendMode
SCATTER ... BLANK
ELSE
SCATTER ...
ENDIF
PROCEDURE OkButtonClick
IF AppendMode
APPEND BLANK
ENDIF
GATHER ...
Of course, you can use BufferMode=5, but I prefer this way.
