Clever.

And that makes complete sense. Browse is the only mode that has anything to
do with records.  The other modes are singular and presentational and have
no need for the concept 'record'.

Good call, Bruce, and much less expensive cycle-wise than a 'do script' call
(I suppose that's a general truism of 'do script' in almost any context.)
