INSERT place the pointer to the new inserted record after it have inserted the record, hence your pointer movement.

The first record is duplicated because RECNO () return 1 on an empty cursor and because RECNO () is evaluated before the insert take place.

A better approach might be:

FOR I = 1 TO 10
    INSERT INTO Temp (Int1, Num1) VALUES (I, I * 10)
ENDFOR

>I tried using "do while" command and it seems to be a bit strange for me but I would like to understand how it works. I used this code:

>Create Cursor temp (int1 i, num1 n(4,0))
>DO WHILE recno() < 10
>  Insert Into temp (int1, num1) Values (RECNO(),RecNo()*10)
>ENDDO

>My questions are:
