My copy of 103 has the same error. I'm not sure what it's supposed to 
be unless the Go to Layout step really ought to be the Exit Script 
step that is in the others.

Hasn't ever turned up as  a problem for me, but if I were sitting 
where you are, I'd probably make it an Exit Script step.

The status function Status(Current Mode) returns 0 for browse mode 
and 1 for Find mode. I expect this trap is intended to keep the user 
from ending up in find mode on a layout with no fields open for data 
entry, only buttons.
