system command - problem resolved

[pmahler at malen.com]

Dennis is out of the office until Monday, so we are not going to do any 
programming on this issue until Monday, but any input for then would be 
greatly appreciated.

Ctrl-L will redraw the screen.

We have something else interesting in that if the screen has an open field 
the system goes into update and places the curser in the field on the 
screen. You can Ctrl-C out of the screen and then Ctrl -L to redraw but of 
course we would not like to do that.

If the screen has no open fields then just the Ctrl -L is needed.

Thanks for your assistance
Paul
