I still have not had a chance to verify this. Besides the "@", I believe
screenman behaves different if you <ENTER> between fields versus <TAB>
between fields.

Kevin,
As a FileMan troglodyte, I never go in through the menu system and I
avoid ScreenMan if possible. I prefer the Line Editor and roll & scroll
entry. I hadn't ever seen what would happen if I went into FM from the
EVE menu and added a field to a file. Well, now I've tried it. I do
get the prompt for node and piece. Here's the screen scrape:
Field #47 in File #101747
FIELD LABEL: KEVIN DATA TYPE... FREE TEXT

| SUBSCRIPT: 1 |
AUDIT C| PIECE-POSITION: 1 |

DESCRIPTION... TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION...
IS THIS FIELD MULTIPLE... NO
MANDATORY: NO
HELP-PROMPT: Answer must be 5-22 characters in length
XECUTABLE HELP:

The inset window came up after I answered NO to the Multiple prompt. If
you're not seeing this, and if you are correct about having the @ mode
set, I'm not sure what the problem is.

I was going in through do ^XUP, then getting to the fileman options
through the menu system. I have a program access code of "@". I
haven't found anything else that locks me out with this method. I
would be interested to know if what you describe gives more
abilities...
