Reminder for @UPDATE

I seem to remember that when using @UPDATE I have to enter a SCREEN ,x 
command to get it to move to the first field on the cursor path.  Is 
this correct?

I asked because I tried modifying an older program with a simple @UPDATE 
routine that filled a table with existing data before it hits and END 
statement.  When adding a record, instead of moving to the first field 
in the cursor path, it would save the empty record and go in and create 
a new record and go to @UPDATE in an endless loop.

At no point in the auto table or the input table to I save the record or 
move to a new one.

Is it because I didn't use the SCREEN command that this is occurring?
