I am trying to remember where I've seen this stated before ... in the PH
Web manual or elsewhere, but I believe a space is only needed for
designer procedure that would otherwise have the same name as a default
"action" of a quick screen. Adding the extra space insures that the
designer procedure is called, not the default procedure.
