More ENTRYRECALL problems

[Deskin, Bob]

The duplicate action (by default the underscore) is not the same as recall.
I'm not sure they use the same buffer. The recall pulls whatever is in the
recall buffer out and puts it on the screen in the field. It then leaves you
in the field to edit. But the ACCEPT verb is not processed until you press
enter/return. I can't remember what happens if there's nothing to recall.
The operator's duplicate goes to the duplicate buffer and if there's
anything there, it puts it into FIELDTEXT and processes it through the
ACCEPT verb. Assuming no error, you're positioned at the next field. If
there's nothing in the duplicate buffer you get an error message.
