Problem

Symptoms: The Macro {Keyboard} command is still allowing text to be carried to the next merge code. To duplicate, build this primary file:

{Prompt}Enter Name ~{Keyboard} {MrgCmnd}{End Field}{MrgCmnd}{HRt} {Prompt}Enter Address ~{Keyboard} {MrgCmnd}{End Field}{MrgCmnd}{HRt} {Prompt}Enter City ~{Keyboard} {MrgCmnd}{End Field}{MrgCmnd}{HRt} {MrgCmnd}{End Record}{MrgCmnd}{HPg}

When the macro is invoked, type in the name and press F9, type in the address and press F9. Then, cursor up and edit the name. Cursor back to line 2 (Address). Press End and type more text, and then press F9. The last item typed will follow the cursor down the screen. Solutions: This has been fixed and will ship in the interim release after 06/29/90. The information given by the programmer is, "When a function caused WP to scan past the last word displayed (i.e control backspace on the last word displayed) it was moving past the marker that indicated where the merge should start again. The main command loop has now been changed to always move back to the left of the marker."
