This is similar to what I tried to describe. However, if I ask for
10 elements and I get 10 elements, then I don't really know if (1)
there are more elements or (2) that 10th element was really the final
element, right?

I think the result is that if things align right (or "wrong"), then the
application will provide a "more" menu entry when, in fact, there are
no more elements to receive.

I suppose an alternative would be to do a quick one-element browse just to
check for more. I had considered that, but thought it seemed a bit kludgey.

Am I still missing something?

Thank you,
