ABC: Restoring several history fields when inserting a new record

I have used a Copy Button on the form to bring back certain fields with good
success. To do it automatically, I would guess this type of code would need to
be one of the form Prime methods. For this to work, History must be enabled on
the form.

      if Self.Request = InsertRecord
         Self.RestoreField(?MAS:DOF)
         Self.RestoreField(?MAS:DOI)
         Self.RestoreField(?MAS:SurveyCode)
         Self.RestoreField(?MAS:FRequestor)
         Self.RestoreField(?MAS:SRequestor)
      end
