	It just sounds like you need to put up the SHOW, SHOWCTR or
SHOW POPUP followed by a VIDEO SYNC immediately before the browse
lookup statement. Do a CLEAR, CLEARS, DISPLAY or whatever just
after the browse lookup ends.

	You will want to do the VIDEO SYNC after the SHOWCTR, not
before. Think of the VIDEO SYNC as a command which will force
all video buffers to be written out *now*.

	Yes.
