The hardest thing about it is the making of a routine that will call it with 
the topic set right.  Since we wrote for our software a table driven routine 
to report exactly where a user was when they involke (sp) a feedback screen, 
I use a slight modification that uses that routine IF the current screen does 
NOT have title.  It allows me to handle it without having to make sure I put 
a line of code each and every screen.
