force a FIND?

[Martin McDonough]

Roger, what Ken has listed is they way to do it. You'll need a 'reset at
startup' on the temp item though.

Ok let me clarify this for you.

screen a

temp t-xyz-key char(??)

file XYZ primary
access via xyz-key usign t_xyz-key 
access via xyz-key request xyz-key

procedure x ; can be procedure entry/find/whatever
begin
  run screen b
  push find ; invokes once this procedure ends
  let t_xyz-key = xyz-key of XYZ
end

procedure path
begin
 if " " ne t-xyz-key
    then let path = 1
    else prompt xyz-key
end

procedure postfind
let t_xyz-key = " " ; clear it out for next find



If you want more clarification....send me the screen
code.

Ken
