The SET TOPIC TO m.htopic line only appears once in the app.  After that 
you can just redefine mhtopic.
I usually have screen and procedures that can be called by a number of 
other screen/procedures.  In each module I include the following in the 
setup code and cleanup code.  By using the two memvars I do not have to 
worry about which module called the procedure/screen.
m.oldtopic=m.mhtopic
m.mhtopic=

m.mhtopic=m.oldtopic
