Jose,

As I indicated above, when accessing the memo edit function from @key, the
prompts clear on their own even with the -d option.

They do no clear when in update mode.  You may be correct.  But since one
cannot put up one's own prompts for the memo function, I would expect they
would be cleared when the memo was saved.

Thanks for the thought.
