Push Return versus Return

[Whittall, Conrad]

Oh, I do like the easy ones ;-)

PUSH RETURN puts the RETURN command onto the top of the pending command
stack, which will only be "popped" from that stack and executed when the
screen has exhausted any remaining rapid-fire command buffer entries and
would then normally prompt the user for the next ACTION to perform.

RETURN will (attempt to) return to the calling screen immediately it is
encountered.

Best regards,
Conrad

     Blame the lazy, hazy dayz of summer or whatever but I can't recall why 
     or when PUSH RETURN or RETURN is appropriate from a subscreen to the 
     parent screen.
