Barry,

I'm not sure, but I think it has something to do with the mode your in. When you Hit U, to update a record, anything you type in any field will be updated if you enter ESCAPE. If you Break, nothing you entered will be recorded. If you are on a record, as in your case, and use the @key with any key other than U, what you enter in any field on any screen seems to be recorded.
