I agree with everything Nancy, Barry, and Ken have stated.  However, this
AM, before I made any changes (after observing the record lock) the
processing went as such:

Pushkey "[SAVE]";end

This caused a record lock.  I then changed it to:

Pushkey "[SAVE]";write;close;goto @ENTSEL

Still locked the record

After seeing Barry's suggestion I changed it to just:

End

This unlocked the record and @ENTSEL ran automatically after the "end" as
suggested.

I guess I don't understand why the pushkey "[SAVE]";end did not unlock the
record.  Thanks for the advice though.
