Large field not getting recorded

[John Esak]

There used to be a situation where you would do:

Memo 33 edit

Put some stuff in the memo and then leave the memo field.  When looking
immediately in t                                          the memo was
empty.  Now, possibly something odd is happening with memo 33 import and
it's clearing its designated field?  The fix for the other was to do a
generic WRITE on the line immediately after the memo 33 edit so the current
record would be written.   This cured the problem, and you could now
immediately see the data just entered.  So, heck, why not try putting a
generic WRITE immediately after the memo ### import line.
