Note that the PUSHKEY is unnecessary, as you never enter edit mode on a
screen.

Also, what is the "RETURN" for?  At first, I didn't see the END on the
previous line, and was wondering how you didn't get a "return without
gosub" error.

What version of filePro are you running on Unix, and what version on DOS?

This may be related to a bug fixed in 4.8.12/5.0.07, which can be worked
around by adding something like "1=1" after the COPYIN.
