Problem

Symptoms: When a customer uses a WP macro that enters a menu and then executes a Shell macro, control is not being returned to the WP macro until a key is pressed. Solutions: This is considered to be working as designed. The following is a quote from the Developer's Toolkit: "After every keystroke, WP calls a routine whose address was provided by the third-party program described above. WP only polls for keystrokes inside editing screens. This is done before WP checks for keyboard input." As a workaround, have the Shell macro return WP to the docuement screen. The WP macro will continue from there.
