A trick someone showed me (I believe it was someone at RBTI).
>>On the reference manual Page 446 it talks about the SETFOCUS alias command

screen.
A simple while loop using the IFWINDOW function should suffice for imitating
the WAIT parameter.
edit using ABCForm AS ABCForm
while (IFWINDOW('ABCForm')) = 1 then
pause for 1
endwh
When I was playing around with these, before someone convinced me that it
wasn't worth the effort, I wrote a small utility file that did this.
set var &%1 = (IFWINDOW(.%1))
while &%1 = 1 then
pause for 1
set var &%1 = (IFWINDOW(.%1))
endwhile
clear var &%1
Then call this like so: run ChckForm.cmd using 'formname'
