I don't have anything handy, but I think you'd have no trouble using GETFLDSTATE() working from the example in the OnLine Help system, which demonstrates how to check if a record was added or fields in the record have been altered. GTEFLDSTATE() can tell you on a field-by-field basis if the record is an existing record or appended without posting through to the table and whether or not the content has been changed. A record has been appended and not changed if it's all 3's:

SET MULTILOCKS ON
CREATE CURSOR Temp (field1 i, field2 i)
=CURSORSETPROP('Buffering',5,'Temp')
APPEND BLANK
? GETFLDSTATE(-1)
REPLACE field1 WITH 4
? GETFLDSTATE(-1)

An unmodified, appended record would return a length of 0 if it were all '3's

?  IIF(LEN(STRTRAN(GETFLDSTATE(-1),'3',''))=0,'Unmodified and appended','something else')
