I thought that if I was to delete a record I would just mark it as deleted
and let it be reused but from my instruction am I to construe I get rid of the row totally ??Any ideas what is everyone doing

Not to worry you are on the right track. Marking a record as deleted does make the record number and disk storage available for reuse. This is because the create method can use any record slot marked as deleted and can overwrite it with the new record data.
