I've tried to send this corrected message twice. The first time it
bounced back to me because the subject line was identical to my
earlier message. I changed the subject line. It bounced back because
the "first line was identical. SkyList is undoubtedly an improvement
but it obviously presents its' own problems. I inserted this
explanatory paragraph to get around the second problem.

Dave, your suggestion solved my problem although, in re-entering the
few contacts for newer records, I made the same basic MISTAKE (I said
question) again - twice.
Which leads to this suggestion for version 2. Set it up so that
output is for the current record only unless you consciously choose a
found set. In other words, make "current record" the default and
"found set" a conscious choice.
