What do you mean by "close the foobar record"?

Going back to your original post, I am assuming you mean "get out of update 
mode on the record the user is sitting on when he pressed '9' and triggered 
the @key9 event"?

If that's the case, the answer is simple -- use @entsel, which is run with 
the user not in update mode, rather than @key, which is run with the user in 
update mode.  (Use @key9 to set a flag, and end.  Check that flag in @entsel 
and do what needs to be done.)
