This is Hauke's example.
I think the intention is to insert a record in the top.
This program has an edit-mode allowing to change, insert and delete data and
line numbers. Changing line number 3050 to 30520 inserts digit 2 in all the
green records.
Now there is space for a record in the beginning, having line number 31511.
10 items are here numbered 11 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29
Did I understand the intention right?
Thank you!
Bo.
