@sn not reset when expected

[John Esak]

Joe,
Just taking the chance of this note to respond to you about something else,
too. A couple people from China signed onto the FP Room tody through a link
(somehow) from your page. I see that you have listed the Room on your web
site. Thanks. These guys were inquiring about Brainboost and had never heard
of filePro... strange, huh?  I'm (we're) not exactly sure how or why they
got there, one said by chance... he put up a long link which included
Magnatech in it so I assume it was through your efforts.  Anyway, thanks.
They said they would come back to study English but another (someone else
NOT from China) asked how filePro related to Oracle... He had never heard of
filePro either... I queried him as to how he found the room and he said he
came to find out about Brainboost... again, I'm lost... but strange new
people in the Room are what it is all about... even regular new people not
strange at all are welcome. Thanks.

As to @sn. As you know if you do a browse that collects data to be displayed
on the screen below the browse lookup, you hve to bring down the browse,
re-DISPLAY the bottom screen and then re-execute the browse. I wasn't clear
when you were doing the @wbl, so I can't comment more until you elaborate.
I'll test what you are saying, but it sounds like SOP not a bug.

John
