At the end of the statement, you need to add ";keep;exit" .  This will
force the keep and exit commands in QUAD.

Later.

        Hi,
        Sent I have upgraded our HP3000 to 5.5, mpex editquad has
stopped working.
        I get the following is the results:

        %EDITQUAD CUST001?;C ';**'';*-' A S
        -----Editing CUST001A.QUIZ.ZIGGY
        QUAD -- JHK, Quest Software, KWS, Summit Information Systems,
January, 1993
                Compiled with SPLash! (c) Software Research Northwest,
Inc.

        /  File unnumbered
          Nbr Rec: 37        Rec Size:   80 Bytes
          File code: 0       File Access: IN/OUT
        /    1

;*-******************************************************************
          1 lines changed
        /  Unnumbered keep to text file CUST001A.QUIZ.ZIGGY
          Post back to old text file?   1  lines posted
        / ^
          No such command
        /
        At this point it stops and I have to do a <ctrl> <break> then
type abort to
        get the prompt back. No change is made to the file.

        Any help would be appreciated and thank you for your time.
