That is the default behavior, when you press enter the host program is 
triggered to read the data (if it chooses) and then to either update, 
clear, etc. By default VPLUS won't clear the data from the screen when 
you press enter (in fact it does virtually nothing when you press 
enter), either the host program (or Entry?) is doing it explicitly or 
one of the clear/repeat/append etc settings for the form in formspec has 
been set to instruct VPLUS to clear the form.
