@ud and @ub updated

[Dennis Malen]

Bruce,

1. I have and "end" after the lookup.

2. I have no write command nor do I change the value of any real field in 
auto proc.

Lastly, I will deactivate the auto proc just to make sure an see what 
happens.

One last thought, I do have an @entsel which initiates a "show" command to 
rewrite the record number and shows other keys that can be pressed by the 
user in order to initiate other defined @key's. They are only "show" 
commands in @entsel.
