restart question...

[Bruce Easton]

Mike, what is the governing trigger for this section of code? (at top of 
table, triggered solely by ESC ESC; @when-field; @update, etc.) That 
would make a difference for the answer. If it is just triggered by ESC 
ESC and processing occurs from the top of the table and winds up there, 
and meets that condition, then when screen 3 is saved, processing should 
continue after the semi-colon (executing the restart command). If this 
was part of @wlf processing, then I would expect it to behave as you 
thought it would.
