 * Most of the remote operations interfacing to a remote dictionary
 * are very close to operations on local dictionaries, with the
 * following noted exceptions.  To compansate for the fact that it is
 * possible to "peek" and get the current item of a local dictionary,
 * some interfaces had to be added, and others have to be changed to
 * closely match the capabilities of a local dictionaries by a remote
 * dictionary.  In particular the item (Record) argument became an OUT
 * or an IN OUT argument, returning the value of the "current_item"
 * following an operation (VDict_Find, VDict_Next, VDict_Prev).
 * The operations VDict_Curr_Item, VDict_Delete_Curr, VDict_Curr_Next,
 * and VDict_Curr_Prev were added to get functionality obtained in
 * local dictionaries by the DICT_CURR_ITEM macro, and by passing the
 * current item as an IN argument to Dict_Delete, Dict_Next
 * and Dict_Prev.  The basic return [IN] OUT parameter was changed
 * from (Item*) to (Record**), partly to further test the pointer
 * handling capabilities of the MIDL compiler.
