system command - problem resolved

[Dennis Malen]

Ken,

Ctrl-L does not work in update which I explained in detail below. I 
specfically said that I had to use Ctrl-c and Ctrl-L on the screen that did 
not have protected fields. If all protected then Ctrl-L worked fine.

Hung Up: As I said in my post the cursor hangs up on the bottom part of the 
top one third of the screen. The rest of the screen is blank. You then 
should apply my first paragraph above for the rest of what we had to do 
manually to solve the problem.

Any other questions, please let me know.

Dennis
