you mean have @key1 execute stuff in @entsel, instead of @key when
record is not locked.  i already tried that anyway. 

in this case that does not help, in debugging one can see that
@key immediately triggers the message before any processing is executed.

even something like @key1::end: will trigger the message when using -ro
