Re: recfmt tabular output returns one record only

Thanks.

This is a surprise. Records were inserted with recins and recset so I did not 
add additional newlines myself.

If .rec is:

%rec: Tot

CSV: 36
HTML: 2
%rec: Checks

Dir: 19112
Name: First
html: 128K
Dir: 2375
Name: Second
html: 124K

it still works. 


If .rec is instead:

%rec: Tot
CSV: 36
HTML: 2
%rec: Checks
Dir: 19112
Name: First
html: 128K
Dir: 2375
Name: Second
html: 124K

it won’t. recsel will return empty.


I have chosen .rec for not having to deal with separators anymore. Do I need to 
avoid recset and recinst for recfmt to work instead?
