You can, but you have to do it yourself.
Something along the lines of

cDel= SET('DELETED')
SET DELETED OFF
LOCATE FOR DELETED()
IF FOUND()
    * Recycle this record
    BLANK()
    RECALL()
ELSE
    * No deleted, so create new
    APPEND BLANK
ENDIF
SET DELETED (m.cDel)

I havnt tested the above code, but I know it is something like that, might need to add some more security etc.
