defined dummy field not viewable in browse

[Larry S. Weaver Jr.]

Was it ever on the wish list to have @browse processing?  Something that 
worked like the @keys in browse where we could set up special keys to do 
something from the browse window other than just U for update?

Is this another large kettle o' fish?

Thanks

Larry, Jr.
