no, I guess it was undocumented

I positioned the cursor to record 0
(vale would do it for any out of range value passed to the  
Cursor.CurrentPosition function)
then fill the window fields with blank values but no new record has  
yet been created
if the user makes some edit the CollectRecord method would check the  
position of the cursor
if it's 0 then add a new record to the cursor and fill it with user's  
input

Now I must use an Adding flag in the window to manage it

well, not a great deal
Old behaviour was just more cool
(less code branching)
