But please don't drop the current support for referencing records during
the find by number. My app handles all records this way, and in fact
doesn't use the 24-bit unique IDs at all.

Let me clarify: I meant the 16-bit record number (zero based), not the
24-bit unique ID. This is what gets passed to your code in the
FindParamsType::recordNum field. Currently (at least) the OS treats
this as an opaque cookie value without interpreting it, and just
initializes it to 0 before calling your app the first time. This is
exactly correct for my particular application.
