The following example code demonstrates the bug with static edit fields that
I am experiencing in my accounting program.

In this example, a regular edit field can be made static and then return to
non-static. 

A static edit field cannot be made non-static.

When the radio button is pressed please notice that the frames do not change
to be consistent with static and non-static edit fields.

This process works perfect in non-appearance applications even without
having to place an EDIT FIELD 0 before each edit field changed (it only
needs to be before the first in the group changed).

Total erasing and recreating these edit fields is not a good alternative to
the problem.

Any help is appreciated.
