Hello Rolf
How I currently edit selections is I take a "key" which in this case would be a first and last name combo which searches the file and prints the listing. Which brings me to a menu I've created asking which part of the entry I want to edit either email, phone number, etc. Depending on which selection is made it asks for the old email, press enter, then asks for new email, press enter and the entry is shown with the updated data. This approach has been working flawlessly however to make it easier and using less menus etc...I would like to make this happen in one screen not several which brings me to cursor control which is a realm I have not entered into. Thanks for the help.
