Thanks Steve. I am using vfp7 so I am in luck.
Is it normal that when I issue:

select * from myTable into cursor myCursor readwrite

that both myTable and myCursor are open in a workarea?
Should I issue a select 0 before I do my select statement to insure that a different workarea will not be used or is this redundant?
