HELP!!!

I have two questions about programming in 4th Dimension that I wish someone can
help me.

Question 1
I have created a Choice Input Layout with choices 0, 1, and 2.  If I input 0, I
will be switched to Layout 0.  If I input 1, I will be switched to Layout 1. 
If I input 2, I will be switched to Layout 2.  In Layout 0, 1, and 2, there is
a field called Choice, where the choice (0,1, or 2) that I have made in Choice
Input Layout will be displayed.  In other word, I don't want to input the
choice again; I want the program to remeber my choice and display it.  How do I
do that?

Question 2
Beside Choice Input Layout, Layout 1, 2, and 3, I also have a Output Layout. 
When I am in User mode, I am in Output Layout first.  But when I want to add a
new record, I am always returned to the last layout that I have finished data
entry.  Instead, I want Choice Input Layout to be the layout that I will be
working with whenever I decide to add a new record.  Can someone tell me how do
I do that?

Any help will be much appreciated.
