The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

The issue I have had with this scenario is that only one format can be
active at a time. Last format written rules the roost. Having
navigation arrows so you can round-robin through the formats works but
if you do it people will point at you in the lunch room.
The only reasonable solution I ever found was to write one format that
reaches the screen; it would be basically a 24x80 array. You write your
various formats to the array as 80-char lines and read from the array.
It sounds like a lot of work but your fields are all read-only, so it'll
work.
Of course, a master screen with all the text, and a data structure of
all the output fields would give you one format and would work, too?
This sounds like extra work but in the end I found it also solved a
whole host of small problems for me.
