I remember the days before SWITCHTO.  I used to work around this
by placing the screen name in a variable and display the screen
from within the "AUTOMATIC" process.  If you display a screen 
within the auto process, it does not go away.

So, you will do:

INPUT.-

@keyM::sn="m"; end

AUTO.-
:sn ne "":display (sn); sn=""; end


If memory does not fail me, this worked nicely ...
