@WEF. @WLF in @ENTSEL

Further adventures in my quest to keep the current record unlocked:

In the course of my @ENTSEL processing, I have

::popup update -,"ADD":
:@sk eq "BRKY":goto @entsel:
::pushkey "A"; end:
@KEYA:::' now we're in update mode, post the data from the ADD screen:

The ADD screen contains only global dummy fields.  Pressing BREAK will take down the 
popup and leave me at the primary screen of the current record, as expected.

However, I want to use @WEF and @WLF processing on this popup update screen.  These 
processing chunks are for on-the-fly "Amount = Quantity * Price" type calculations, 
and do not write any real fields.

As soon as any @WxF processing has been triggered, a subsequent BREAK will then 
entirely exit me from dclerk instead of performing the "goto @entsel".

Is there a way this can work?  TIA.
