My problem is to allow a user to do a arbitrary query in a form and then as he flips through the records retrieved to be presented with a big bold display at the top of the screen telling him that he is (e.g.) on

     *Record 3 of 25*
(the status line message is deemed inadequate). The first number is of course
easy using the built-in get_block_property('block_name',current_record) but the second is a pig because the built-in COUNT_QUERY only displays its mesage on the status line and does not return the query hits in such a way that you can put it in your own display field. Attempts to use other things such as get_block_property(...records_to_fetch) have met with no success...

Any suggestions much appreciared.
