empty records?

The technique used there begs more questions. (I would wonder, for
instance, what happens to the record after it's been added - what is it
used for and what it's supposed to retain.. Is it possible that it
would be better designed to not sit on any record, say from @menu, while
it's verifying that it has acceptable input...)
But I see your point. It's odd that it behaves differently now. You
could try this instead for the first line:
start If: 1 eq ""
Then: pushkey "[BRKY][BRKY]"; end '(or just one BRKY for Windows
I think)
