@WEF. @WLF in @ENTSEL

[Barry Wiseman]

[top-posted for John]

If when processing has already been triggered, I am *not* returned to @entsel; 
instead, dclerk exits altogether.  That is the problem.  If the cursor has not yet 
been moved to any field with @WEF/@WLF processing, then BREAK returns me to @entsel 
as expected.
