Selectall statement that stays at or returns to the current record

In single user databases there is no record ID. Here's one way to do
this that should work unless your database contains totally duplicate
records.

local xr
xr=exportline()
selectall
find xr=exportline()

You'd probably want to throw noshow/showpage/endnoshow statements in
there.
