Pushkey "[SAVE]" question

[Don Coleman]

Discovered a record lock issue this AM caused by my processing.  
Windows 2000 & XP clients, Windows 2000 Advanced Server fP v5.0.13.  fP is
installed on the server and accessed via *.bat file from the client via a
mapped drive.  Contents of the *.bat file are:

ECHO OFF
TITLE=filePro Rx WORKFLOW APPLICATION (LASER PRINTER)
SET PFNET=ON
SET FILES=60
SET PFFILES=80
SET PFTMP=C:\TEMP
SET PFDSK=E
SET PFDATA=E:
SET PFPROG=E:\FP_SETUP_FILES\FP5.0.13
SET PFDIR=\QS1\TODO
SET PFCONFIG=E:\FP_SETUP_FILES\FP5.0.13\CONFIGURATION\LASER
SET PATH=C:\PRINTWIZ
SET PFSHOWWINERROR=ON
%PFPROG%\FP\P.EXE SCRIPT

When the user uses an @KEY function (@KEYR) in an input process table while
sitting on the record the record remains locked after the @KEY logic ends.
In several tests so far sometimes the record is released when the user exits
fP, sometimes not.  They are currently testing to see if the record lock is
always released if the client is rebooted.

Each occurrence of pushkey "[SAVE]" previously was followed by an "end"
statement.  As a result of this reproducible problem I modified the logic to
be 
Pushkey "[SAVE]";write;close;goto @ENTSEL (the @ENTSEL is to redraw some
dummy variable display information.  

Is using pushkey "[SAVE]" within @KEY logic causing my record lock, and if
so, what is a better option?  I would have expected the "write;close" to
resolve the issue (with admittedly more system overhead) but it did not.
Come to think of it, I probably don't need the write if I do need the close.
I believe Ken B. has stated previously that the close includes a write
automatically.

Any suggestions.  The @KEY processing is used to move an order "back" in the
fulfillment process.
