Correct.

Also correct.  (Well, it will write the record if you made any changes.
In either case, the record will be unlocked.)

Also, when @KEY processing ends, @ENTSEL will be run automatically, so
the "goto @ENTSEL" is unnecessary.  (In fact, as Nancy partly mentioned,
by not ENDing @KEY, and doing a GOTO @ENTSEL, you have prevented filePro
from writing and unlocking the record.)
