@WEF. @WLF in @ENTSEL

[John Esak]

I'm not sure what you are trying to do. You popup a screen @entsel. It runs
some @when processing... if the user presses BREAK, you clear the screen and
are returned to @entsel...  Where else would you rather go with the press
the BREAK key?  And if that is the crux of the problem, then why not put up
*another* screen first and *then* do the POPUP UPDATE.
