Printing multiple records on a form

I can't use "FORM".  You see, in our purchase file you have multiple records 
with the same PO#.  (item 1, item 2, item 3, etc...)

"FORM" will just print one item of the PO#.

I have come up with a popup listbox of choices, which is okay as a workaround.

  1: Get a new Purchase Order#
  2: Manually use another PO#
  3: PRINT (print your PO Form)
  4: Exit

This little popup appears as soon as you enter dclerk.  If you hit #3, it 
prompts you for the PO#, then captures your input into a selection set.  Then it
does the system command for dreport and prints "POform" with all records/items 
for that PO.  The only pain is that you have to remember your previous PO# that 
you entered (from #1).

The purchase dept is curious about having filePro "remember" the PO# over and 
over and as soon as they are done, it automatically will print all the 
records/items for the PO#, but the issue is - they are still on a particular 
record (example: item 3 of 3, of  PO# 114979).

============================================================================

What "special printing and processing" needs to be done that can't be
done in *clerk?  Is it a simple matter of FORM not running the output
processing?  If so, simply CALL the output processing rather than doing
a FORM, and end the output processing with:

    If:  @sn ne ""
  Then:  FORM "formname"
