Hello all.  I am interested in finding out more about implementing segmented
keys in an indexed file.  Unfortunately the documentation is very sparse/non-
existant.  I have found the description of the service in the RMS manual and
I have attempted to chase down High-level languages that support it.  It
seems that only Basic (I checked Fortran,Pascal,C manuals) mentions it
but goes no farther than showing how to initialize them.  

My question(s) are where is it documented (i.e. Where didn't I look.)  Does
anyone have any related code (Assembler,C,Fortran,Basic) that implements
this (a page of code is worth 10,000 pages of documentation) and would
be willing to share it (only what is necessary to illustrate the use).
I would appreciate any help and I give you my thanks now....
