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 ...
