(Optional) Used to control entries displayed during
online "?" help only. This array can be set to define a
starting value for an entry in the lookup index used
to list entries from the file. Integer value "n" is
associated with the "nth" data value subscript in the
index (e.g., regular old-style indexes always have just
one indexed data value so "n" would be 1). If a
starting value is defined for subscript "n," then
starting values must also be defined for all of the
subscripts preceding "n."
This information is used to set the FROM parameter
for a call to LIST^DIC in order to display the entries
in the file specified by file#. Therefore, the entries
must meet the same rules as the FROM parameter
described in that call.

LIST^DIC( ): Lister API.
If DIC(0) contains an "L" and the first indexed field is
a pointer, then after displaying the current entries on
the file, Fileman allows the user to see entries on the
pointed-to file. In that case, the developer may
request starting values for any pointed-to file in the
pointer chain. If the user enters "^value" when asked
whether they wish to see the entries in the file, the
value entered by the user will override the starting
list value passed by the developer in this array.
