When does @sn get reset?

I have a situation where I have a screen of dummies which i'm updating
via a popup update command - some of the dummies lookup to another 
file and there was some browse processing to display choices. They 
wanted more info added that was on screen #1 of that file - so i 
figured just to add pop=1 to the lookup browse line - but of course
that failed because the process was already working within a popup
screen - so i figured - i don't need both popups open at same time,
i can close the first, do my lookup, popup if desired from the built-in
<F6> lookup, then reopen the first popup window - but i can't figure out 
why this doesn't work - in debugging, @sn shows the original popup screen
value throughout the @wbl process until after the "end" statement is hit,
making this seemingly simple workaround unworkable.
