Problem

Symptoms: Using a prompt in List Files produces a new line at the bottom of the screen and distorts the List Files screen. Solutions: The macro is causing a new line to appear on the status line which will scroll the screen up one line. This happens on all screens and menus, including View Document. {Screen}{Screen} is not a solution because this will erase the user's prompt and does not work in most menus. When a user creates a prompt, he/she has control of the screen and must carefully place or position the prompt on the screen so that it does not conflict with the current screen display. When you use a macro command that displays a message (i.e., {CHAR}, {INPUT}, {PROMPT}, {TEXT}) in the List Files screen, you can make the screen redisplay after the command ends by putting a {Screen} command after the command that displayed the prompt in the macro.
