So far, I don’t have a clear image of much of it.

Could you please start with something like this: 

                          Work with Objects Using PDM                  DEFIANCE

                                       :  TOML       Escape Menu             :  
 Type options, press Enter.            :  TOML                               :  
   2=Change       3=Copy        4=Dele :  1      Send message                :  
   8=Display description        9=Save :  2      Work with current job       :  
                                       :  3      Work print output           :

      QQSHSRC     *FILE       PF-SRC   :  10     SS maint                    :  
      QREXSRC     *FILE       PF-SRC   :  11     *DSCJOB                     :  
      QRPGLESRC   *FILE       PF-SRC   :                            More...  :  
      QRPGLESRC1  *FILE       PF-SRC   :   Special  . . :   OF/SC/GJ/SO      :  
                                       :   Select . . . .                    :  
 Parameters or command                 :  F3=Exit   F6=Repos Wdw   F9=Cmd    :

 F3=Exit          F4=Prompt            :                                     :  
 F9=Retrieve      F10=Command entry    :.....................................:  
 0 members match the Find string in file QRPGLESRC.

That’s a straight select-all/copy/paste into a {code} block of an example screen. You might paste something similar and tell us where the two windows are and what you expect to happen when you press {Enter} or when you do whatever you’re needing to do.

Maybe things can be made clearer.

I also suggested using CHAIN rather than READ.
