Changed behavior of show "@"

Following his upgrade, a client reported that a certain popup message had 
disappeared.  I found that the code read,

	show ("24","20") "@blah blah blah"

and that clerk was disregarding the "@" and immediately continuing without pausing at 
a "press enter to continue" message.  Other show "@" statements without the position 
parameter are working correctly.

Upon reflection it's obvious that the above is just dumb code and that (r,c) and "@" 
are mutually exclusive features of SHOW.  But somewhere on the road to 5.0.14 the 
rule of which one gets ignored has changed.

Just thought I'd drop this "heads up" on the list.  I don't remember any mention of 
this in the release notes (he said, lazily refusing to go and check :-) ).
