From other postings I see that Paulo knows about
FOR...SELECT...INTO...DO...SUSPEND so I take it that he finds this syntax
burdensome and thinks that it should simply be SELECT * FROM someTable
WHERE someCondition...;

Sorry, but I don't buy it. If that's all that the complaint is then I'm
dismissing it as noise.
