Would it work to have the field be editable? Check to see if the text is changed?

If changed one can then do either of two things:

1. a design choice to process the change silently and proceed without
the maintenance screen,
2. the other design choice is to treat any change as a default F4, so
they get the maintenance screen either way.

(A third choice, if the volumes of activity warrant it, is to let Shift-F4 swap a user between option 1 and option 2 operation.)
