Define "anything".  Define "ignored".

What about this line:

     mesgbox "I bet this isn't ignored."

@SK from what?  @SK is still valid from whatever was the last keystroke read 
by filePro, but remember that the "show=only" browse lookup doesn't wait for 
any keystrokes.

Okay, so your processing ends.  But, depending on where this processing is 
being run, some other processing (such as automatic or @entsel) will 
probably be run.  What happens there?  Do you have anything like CLEARB or 
SWITCHTO?

Pressed Enter _when_?
