Re: Splash screen with timeout and invite, in MI?

Experimental result:

I tried replacing the FRCDTA keyword with an INVITE keyword. Results 
were interesting:

The screen still comes up with the keyboard lock indicator off. Which is 
to be expected, and the same as it was with FRCDTA.

If I press an AID key while the splash screen was up, the keyboard lock 
indicator comes on. Again, the same behavior as with FRCDTA.

If I let it default to bringing up the data screen (UDDS, through a 
separate display file), then the data screen comes up, whether I've hit 
an AID key or not.

But if I override it, e.g.:
     VIEW FILE(WTDEVELOP/WTNOTE) SCREEN(*ATTR)
and press an AID key while the splash screen is up, then as soon as the 
Field Attributes screen (an ordinary record in the same DSPF as the 
splash screen) tries to come up, it throws a CPF4737,

 > Output file VIEW in library AQVW830 on program device DSP05 not done.
 > An outstanding input operation has been completed. Send a READ to the

So I can definitely detect that an AID key has been pressed before the 
timeout interval.
