I went to duplicate your bug.  I created a 1518-record file and did:

	APPEND BLANK
	x = recno()
	
	GOTO x

This doesn't cause any problem for me.  Of course, it could be that I
picked different operations to try :-).  Could you be more specific?

I have heard that we may go to hundreds of beta sites with 1.1, and the
people who administer that effort act as if they already have thousands
of requests.  However, there's no harm in writing to the only name I know
in the beta-test department:

	Tom Brcka (pronounced "birch-ka")
	Ashton-Tate
	20101 Hamilton Avenue
	Torrance, CA  90502-1319

I'm sure Tom would appreciate a letter outlining your reasons and 
qualifications w.r.t. beta testing 1.1, rather than a phone call.  Feel
free to mention my name (for all the good it'll do you :-).
