I have found that ANY data entry, to the current record/file, done at @key
will not hold unless a write is executed just before the END.  

I will assume that since there is no save/escape executed when the @key
routine hits an end command, the record is left as it was.  One needs to
force the write to lock in any changes to the record that are made.
