@ud and @ub updated

[John Esak]

Came in late to this one... @entsel will not update the record's system
maintained fields like @ud, however, any use of an @key at all will change
the value of @ud. Doesn't matter what you do in the @key routine, just
executing the keystroke puts you into update mode and locks the record. Why,
does this appear not to be the case somewhere?
