Terry,

I think what you want to do is first use your "Modify Existing Records"
menu item to initiate fieldmarking, then fieldmark the record that you want
to delete.  Press F7 to return to the action bar, which will leave that
record marked.  Then use the "Delete Indiviual Line" item to run the Delete
Mark command, which should delete the marked record.   BTW, in the SUB
system, I put both a "Change" and a "Mark for Delete" command on the menu
bar that both initiate fieldmarking, just so the user would see that both
options were there.  A "Delete Marked Record" menu item runs the Delete
Mark command.

I have several examples if you want to take a look.
