IMMEDIATE command (full-screen mode)

The IMMEDIATE command causes a command within a command list to be performed immediately. It is intended for use with commands assigned to a PF key.

IMMEDIATE can only be entered as an unnested command or within a compound command.

Prefix the PF key definitions for the FIND, FINDBP, RETRIEVE, SCROLL, and WINDOW commands with the IMMEDIATE command so that these commands work when you enter a group of commands.
