Actually, if anything other than a number is pressed the browse should clear
and the user remains on the current screen.

In fact this situation can arise if ENTR is pressed and a record is hit with
no transactions.  An error message advises "No Transactions On File" and the
ends the program.  This leaves the user on screen 9 with no browse.  Now I
could add :sn="":sn="2" and then switchto (sn) would not leave them on a
blank screen.

John suggest doing pushkey "["{@sk{"[9";end which works.
