Memo magic is really distressing filepro user

[John Esak]

I *know* there can't be anything wrong with the code you have shown below as
a MEMO entry snippet, but I want you to add one line to it.

On the line after the "memo edit" line, put WRITE on a line by itself.

If you want to see why this is required at the 5.0.13 level of filePro,
check on the filePro Survivor CD's. One of the lessons in the chapter on
MEMO shows your example with and without the WRITE and what happens. It may
apply to what is happening to you. I will assume since I submitted this as a
bug report that the problem was fixed after 5.0.14, since it was still there
then. Haven't checked in 5.0.6, but I will 5shortly and let everyone know.
(I believe you bought the Survivor Series... a few Tony's did... and I seem
to remember an "Old Tony" in there... :-)
