system command - problem resolved

[John Esak]

Dennis,

1) Like Ken, I need to know what you mean by "open fields on the screen".

An @key does not take you into any field on the screen unless you
specifically tell it to do that.

2) Also, I need to know what the purpose of the "screen" command is. Were
you using this to try and clear things up after the @key is finished?

3) Can you tell me the difference in what happens when you do:

Then: system le<lg{pa;le="";lg="";pa="";end

and

Then: system noredraw le<lg{pa;le="";lg="";pa=""; display (@sn);end

and

Then: system le<lg{pa;le="";lg="";pa=""; display (@sn);end

Do any of these clear up the problem?

John
