I have noticed that the "Jump to" record function only works to jump
forward.  It does not seem to have the ability to jump backwards.

I'm doing a project where I am revising one element in certain records
in a 800+ record file.  My revision list is not in record number
order.  If I jump from record 25 to record 301, there's no problem.
However, if I try to  jump from 301 to 25, the function doesn't work.
Perhaps the Jump function can be improved so that it can jump both
forward and backwards in a  future release.

As a workaround, I've started re-saving the file after each record is
revised, since that takes me back to the first record in the file.
(For this particular project, the "Find All" function would not work.
If the records that need editing had a common searchable element, I
would use that function to create a jump list.)
