You entered update mode when the @KEY event was triggered.

If you need to allow some other process to update the file, and your @KEY 
handler won't make any changes, there are several solutions.  A common one 
is to set a flag in your @KEY event, and then end.  Then, have your @ENTSEL 
handler check that flag and do whatever you need done, such as your SYSTEM 
command.
