For these keys to work. The Workarea status window, must be the currently selected window.
By default, the workarea window will change to reflect the current workarea, i.e. each time that the workarea changes, the workarea window will change to reflect the new work area.
You may override this, by using any of the keys that affect the workarea window. The moment that you press a key, the window will not update to reflect any changes to workareas. It will only update to reflect changes to the workarea shown in the window. Should you re-size the window, then you will be able to see the contents of the record.
