One quick question.  The answers probably something simple, however, it has
been eluding me.  Once you've used the select statement in MapBasic to
select certain rows from a table, how do you delete them from the table??
"Delete From"  wipes out all from the table, you can't use a where clause
unless you have the rowid, and I even tried "delete selection from" and, of
course, that didn't work either.  Someone please(!) give me a clue.  

Terry
