 skipRaw()
 Reposition cursor, regardless of filter
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Prototype

     ERRCODE skipRaw(
                          AREAP wa,
                          LONG numToSkip
                       )

 Arguments

     wa is a pointer to self.

     numToSkip is the number of rows to skip.  A positive number
     indicates moving forward in the table, while a negative number indicates
     backwards movement.

 Description

     skipRaw() relatively repositions the work area cursor numToSkip rows regardless of
     filter settings.  skipRaw() is the base movement method for all relative
     work area movements.

 Default Behavior

     You must implement the default behavior of this method through a
     subclass.

 Implementation Notes

     .  If an order is imposed on the work area by an index or other
        such structure, skipRaw() should always follow that order.

     .  In some systems, an absolute reposition using go() may be an
        appropriate implementation of skipRaw().

     .  skipRaw() must be able to accept a zero value for numToSkip,
        indicating that the row at the current cursor position should be
        committed (see flush()).
