Not that I know of.

Top of the input processing table.  You put your post-ESC,ESC processing
there, and finalise with an END.  Any @whatever or other processing goes
after that first END.  Input processing should really always start with an
END before all that stuff anyway, even if there's nothing being done...just
a leading END, because that's exactly where processing starts at the save
point.

Test @SK for "[SAVE]" at the top of input processing, and if that's it,
then check to see if your minimal criterion are met.  If not, screen() into
the appropriate screen & field depending on circumstances.
