You could start with an entry in file 2, identify every record
pointing to it, every record pointing to any of those, etc., always
pruning your search when you reach an already visited node (to avoid
infinite loops), but my hunch is that you'd get a LOT of data. To
make things more complicated, though, I've seen a lot of integer
valued fields that are effectively pointers, particularly in IFCAP
(why this was done is beyond me). Another "interesting" thing I've
seen is pointers to subfiles (not legal in Fileman).
