Well, I wasn't referring to that at all when I mentioned SOP... I was
referring to my statement about having to re-display the base screen after
doing a browse that changes variables on that screen. I can not duplicate
what you mention above. I think (know) I have seen some behavior that was
similar i.e., losing the screen parts and reatinging field values... etc.,
but I have always been able to remedy these times when the screen gets
corrupted by simply doing "display @sn".
