The @entsel flag

[John Esak]

Yes, sure, I usually do lookup dash to some record... or a free record, but
in this case (and many like it) I don't need to be on _any_ record... so
just styaing wherever it is that  -xe puts me is just fine. I had always
known that it was record zero, but for some reason, I thought you locked
record zero while you were on it.  I should have realized that @entsel locks
nothing.

Isn't there _some_ instance when you lock record zero??  I am forgetting
exactly when it is, but I know it gets momentarily locked  upon
something.... just can't remember when.
