  if the look up is sorted by the customer number then in the windowManager
Init method, just after the browse class init call

  pre:keyField = parameter value
  brwX.startAtCurrent = true

  if not sorted by the customer number if there is a key on the customer
number

  pre:keyfield = parameter value
  access:file.fetch(customer number key)
  brwX.startAtCurrent = true

  if no key and not sorted then if the look up is file loaded you can just
locate in the queue,  if not file loaded then change the parameter from just
the customer number to the filed(s) that the look up is sorted by or at
least has a key
