I see it as part of declare cursor (13.1)

<updatability clause> ::=
        FOR { READ ONLY | UPDATE [ OF <column name list> ] }

However, I think the updatability clause means something 
different than our for update.  If I'm reading it write, I think 
it tells you whether or not you may do positioned updates on
the cursor.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
    (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
