  After entering the ACTIONS command on the command line,
  selecting a action bar pulldown choice, and ending
  or cancelling that choice the command line is
  cleared but the cursor is not returned to the start
  of the command line.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was changed to only restore the cursor
  position when the ACTIONS function key is
  pressed and the cursor is not on the command line.
  The command line is cleared and the cursor placed
  at the beginning of the command line after ACTIONS "x"
  or ACTIONS entered on the command line when the user
  ends or cancels from the action bar pulldown choice he
  selected.
