I'm puzzled by the SCREEN RESTORE command:

According to the syntax the default is ON - so there _should_ be no need to
specify ON under most conditions. Except that the syntax also says that it
redisplays the ORIGINAL screen (my caps) which I _assume_ to mean the
original screen refreshed with the latest data.

The syntax also says that, for Windows, if one EEP has it set to OFF then
all must - I can understand this for EEPs called from within another EEP but
not ALL.

I also have a form where I have to "scroll" through the rows to get data
updated - usually having to go down and then back up the form at least twice
before I am sure everything is correct. It does get updated but _only_ after
going into and out of each row _after_ having entered the data and left the
row.

Anybody able to shed any light?
Regards, Alastair.
