data edit in a popup screen

[daN baueR]

What I'm trying to do is jump from data entry on screen 3, or 4, or 5 and
then show screen 8 in update mode. Modify make changes on screen 8 and then
jump back to the original screen. This would be within the same file and
editing the same record in that file.  This is an old version of filePro
V4.5.  Yes I know it should be updated but it's not my call.

This is the code from my input table. The correct screen pops up but then
disappears. I checked the online manual and it mentions displaying the
screen or updating but only gives an example for displaying.


@wlfF1 = If: f1 ne ""   ' show footnote screen
       Then: popup ("1","1") -,"8"
 30  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       = If: f1 ne ""
       Then: show "@"; clearp
 31  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       = If:
       Then: end


I'm sure it's a simple tweak but it's escaping me. Thanks.
