I think you might need some better control.  The @entsel process runs as 
a record is displayed.  So trapping for @sk at that point would be too 
late to stop it.  However, you could undo it maybe.

Try this in @entsel:

If: @sk eq "ENTR"
then: pushkey "[CRUP]";end


It would notice that you pushed ENTER to move to the new record and it 
would push the uparrow to make it move back.  Not sure if it might look 
weird or cause any other issue, but it is worth a try.
