I have macros where the XEDIT screen displays when I execute a READ command,
such as 'READ NOCHANGE'

I know of no other command than READ which will 'activate' the Escape-CTLchar
fields in the data- with a simple 'REFRESH' the Escape-CTLchar characters
are displayed as text characters.

I would then like to immediately perform another action in my macro, such
as bringing up a small CMS window overlaying part of the XEDIT display. But
when the READ command executes, it is necessary for the user to press a PF or
PA key or ENTER before the READ concludes and the macro can proceed to the
next command. READ goes 'no-op' if there is anything in the stack, so
pre-stacking is out.

Is there another XEDIT command to 'activate' the Escape-CTLchars fields? Or is
there a way to trick CMS/XEDIT into executing another command in my macro
after the READ command?
