Brian,

In one application where I've used the VTURN(on/off) pair I also call a
home grown routine to 'refresh' the current form (see below).

Regards
Paul Christidis

PROCEDURE VREFRESHFORM (COMAREA);
   INTEGER ARRAY   COMAREA;

   BEGIN
      INTRINSIC    VSHOWFORM,   VGETNEXTFORM;

       MOVE COMAREA(18) := "$REFRESH        ";
      COMAREA(0) := 0;

      VGETNEXTFORM (COMAREA);
        ERR'CHECK;

      VSHOWFORM (COMAREA);
        ERR'CHECK;

   END;
