affect the retrieval of user index entries (short of power failures or 
other problems with main memory)?

That is correct. 
And if you retrieve enough additional entries you may very well find 
that 
bringing in the additional entries causes the changed entries to be 
written to auxiliary storage in order to "make room" in main storage for 
the newly retrieved entries!
Thanks again Bruce (and Vern) for clearing that up for me.  The article I 
read on IT Jungle suggested otherwise - that immediate update was 
referring to update of the object in memory.  The only way that could make 
sense to me was the case of multiple entries being added as an "atomic 
commit" type of operations, which is where I came up with that 
multi-threaded business earlier.
I'm starting to test out the use of User Indices for an inquiry app here, 
I think they should be very useful.
Thanks again for your help!
Adam
