I would also say, that bulk deletions would be a nice feature.
But i would like to suggest an other method. Base actions on
a find. This way you could search for some kind of records
and the search would mark all found records. Now one could base
actions on this. This would require a limited wildcard find
( * represents all records ) to get the feature Michael Reich
suggested. If you would implement a mark after find you could
do other to me useful things. For example create and/or beam a
new database with all found records, or copy all marked records
to an other existing database.

I must agree.

With kind regards

Klaus' method using a search would certainly meet my needs.  
Good approach.
