In DbaseII & III you could use the command 'SET CARRY ON' (I pretty sure 
that's what it was called) to automatically copy the information from the 
last record into a new record. 
This is different to a standard default value as it can change from record to 
record. As an example let's say you are creating a parts master and one of 
the fields like Product Group changes periodically, rather than always having 
to enter or retype you only need to do it when it changes.
Does this explain it any better?
