I was thinking of going the same place you're saying, Ben.  Yes it does 
complete with a smaller subset.  I was thinking of adding a column to the table 
that I can mark with an "X" after the cursor completes, have the cursor say 
"where flagcolumn is null" and have it quit after say 10,000 rows.  Yeah, 
kind of a pain in that someone would have to exit RBase, come back in and 
start it again (would also for sure have to turn it into a permanent table).
