Dan,

To write a record but not require the user to press
the ENTER key, the DDS keyword INVITE allows a screen
to redisplay without using the EXFMT opcode.  
The WRITE opcode is used instead.       


Dan Rasch - because if the human species concentrated on the really 
important things in life, there would be a shortage of fishing poles!
