Automatic processing does not run on screen 9 because the user is always on
the browse screen and no one else can get to screen 9.  There are no fields
on screen 9 or "nine".

Nothing, but since I was putting that in automatic I decided to put the
other 2 lines there also.

> What about the "enter" key?
If the user hits the <Enter> key the program puts him/her back to the browse
screen.  Automatic processing runs but does not permanently change the value
of field 5 because there is no update.  The user never sees anything
different on the browse screen.
