The simplest two ways are:
1. Re-write the form to prevent data-changes. Then there's no difference

   between query-mode and non-query mode. 2. Start the form (from menu, or another form) using call_query, rather

   than call. If necessary, you can put logic into the key-startup    trigger of the relevant form to call_query itself, and then exit.
