When you issue the READ you get control back when the user hits an AID key. At that point there's one line stacked for each change on the screen. You can decide whether XEDIT should update the file being edited or not. When you have processed the stacked lines, you issue another READ until you have seen the signal to terminate (eg PFK 3). Try something like this to see what happens: /* */ 'READ ALL NUMBER TAG' address command 'PIPE stack | cons' Rob Warning: READ used to be a NOP when there is a line stacked when it is invoked. I don't see it mentioned anymore in the notes, so it may have been fixed. It was a very popular cause for such applications to get into a loop.
