Some cautionary notes:

You probably have the normal adds, updates, and deletes covered.  Try
DFU'ing a record and see that the journal entry type is different than when
done from HLL.  Well, well, well, scratch that, I think.  On my current
system, DFU doesn't issue a different entry type like it did at my last job.
????????????? Anyway, you may want to look up "Journal code finder" for
Journal code "R" to for more info.

Also, are you tracking for the file being cleared?  Or restored from a
backup?  These are not Journal code "R" entries but, rather, "F".

If any of these situations occur, and your RCVJRNE app doesn't do anything
with them, you'll no longer be "N'sync".

You might say that these things would never happen with this particular
file.  I say "never say never".  If you cover these situations in this
instance, cloning the app for other files will be a snap, and all the bases
will be covered.  BTDT.
