Readwrite has the same effect as NoFilter and also allows you to write to the 
cursor.

Sometimes, indexes permitting, VFP will be clever and instead of creating a new 
cursor will just re-present the table with a filter set in a new work area. 
Back in the day this would potentially be faster.
NOFILTER just forces it to always create a cursor. In the normal way that 
cursor then may or may not have a presence on disk.
