Application(App) anomolies and questions
This is a small App I created to familiarize myself with the operation of Apps. I used the Solve App as my template. The following is my code:
Code:

//Variables... 
DegF;Mph;wct;wcto;ft;

WindChillIntroDisplay();
InputPgm();
FrostBiteEqn();
WindChillEqn();
OutputPgm();

EXPORT WindChillApp()
BEGIN
END;

VIEW "Start Windchill",START()
BEGIN
LOCAL K;

REPEAT
STARTVIEW(-1,1);
WindChillIntroDisplay();
FREEZE;
REPEAT
WAIT(1);
GETKEY▶K;
UNTIL K>−1;

IF K==42 OR K==43 THEN
InputPgm(); 
END;

IF K==30 THEN
WindChillEqn();
FrostBiteEqn();
STARTVIEW(-1,1);
OutputPgm();
//FREEZE;
WAIT(0);
END;

UNTIL K==4;
MSGBOX("test1");
STARTVIEW(-4,0);
END;

WindChillIntroDisplay()
BEGIN
TEXTOUT("1: DegF= "+DegF,-15,9);
TEXTOUT("2: Mph= "+Mph,-15,7);
TEXTOUT("Enter: Calculate WindChill",-15,1);
TEXTOUT("Esc=Quit",-15,-1);
END;


InputPgm()
BEGIN
INPUT({DegF,Mph},"Input Values",{"DegF= :","Mph= :"},{"Air Temperature (-45 to 40 °F)","Wind Speed (3 to 60 Mph)"},{DegF,Mph});
END;


FrostBiteEqn()
BEGIN

//LOCAL tmp;
// Could not get the following equation
// to work properly
//­24.5*(.667*10*Mph*(8/5)+4.8)+2111▶tmp
//tmp*(­4.8-(DegF-32)*(5/9))^(­1.668)▶ft
//round(ft,0)▶ft

//Calculate frostbite time

END;

WindChillEqn()
BEGIN
//New WindChill Equation
35.74+.6215*DegF−35.75*Mph^.16+.4275*DegF*Mph^.16▶wct;
round(wct,0)▶wct;

//Old WindChill Equation(Prior to 2001)
.0817*(3.71*Mph^.5+5.81-.25*Mph)*(DegF-91.4)+91.4▶wcto;
round(wcto,0)▶wcto;
END;


OutputPgm()
BEGIN
TEXTOUT("DegF= "+DegF,-15,9);
TEXTOUT("Mph= "+Mph,-15,7);
TEXTOUT("New WindChill= "+wct,-15,5);
TEXTOUT("Old WindChill= "+wcto,-15,3);
TEXTOUT("Frostbite,≤min "+ft,-15,1);
TEXTOUT("Enter=Back",-15,-1);
END;

Questions:
EXPORT WindChillApp()
BEGIN
END;
What is intended to go between the BEGIN and END?

//FREEZE;
WAIT(0);
If I uncomment FREEZE; and comment out WAIT(0); why does the program blow right through the FREEZE instruction?

MSGBOX("test1");
STARTVIEW(-4,0);
On exiting the App, If I comment out MSGBOX("test1"); why does the program blow right through the STARTVIEW(-4,0); instruction, if I use the "Start" soft menu on the emulator Application Library screen? Otherwise it operates the way I want it to.

Anomilies:
When saving the App from the connectivity kit to the emulator, why must I hit the save icon at least 2 times to get it to save my changes to the emulator?

Thanks for any information you can provide.
