User command in @key processing

[James Flanagan]

Filepro 5.8.01.06D6
Redhat Exnterprise 6.8

/bin/test_script
echo 23

Input processing
::end:
::’:
@keyx::’:
::aa(2,.0):
::user xxx = /bin/test_script
::aa=xxx:
::msgbox aa:
::end:

The first iteration of this code, when hitting the “X” key works and the msgbox contains “23”.  Every subsequent time, however, the msgbox is blank.   

I found the following in the manual, but I am not quite certain that this is the issue.  
IMPORTANT: When reading from a user program, filePro Plus executes the program only once, not over and over. Therefore, make sure the user program itself loops until it reaches an end-of-file. 

Can input processing keep re-running a user command each time in @key processing, however many times the key is pressed for a given record.

Thank you very much, in advance.
