Screen ghost??

Hi all.  I am having some difficulty tracking down an issue that one of our files is having.  We do a system call from two separate files to add information into another file. The call from one file works fine, and the exact same call from another file brings up the screen to add information, then if the user hits enter the screen jumps up one line at a time and not from field to field like it should be.  

Here's where I get confused... when I set the debugger, the screen loads and has a line of code at the bottom.  All is normal, then if I hit the enter key to jump to the next line of code the screen moves up a line like when not in debugger mode.  The line of code is just assigning a variable, so there isn't anything that should affect the screen.

Now if I run this as root, everything works fine. So I checked all of the permissions, mod, and owner of the two files that run these system calls and they are exactly the same.  So I'm a little lost here...  Anyone else have this problem? Anyone find a solution???

We are running filePro version 5.6.06 on a sco unix machine.
