Nested Calls

[Richard D. Williams]

Richard,

Yes I use @wef, @wlf, @wuk, and goto. all of which contain an "end" 
statement  inside the call.
The "end" for one of these does not end the call.

I did mention "display" in my first email and that works fine, but I can 
not use "screen".
I must use a popup inside the call to use a screen "normally".
"Normally", being as if I was updating a screen in the input table.

Richard
