Up/Down Arrow Key prompts

[George]

Are you talking *nix filePro or Windows filePro?
In Windows filePro there is definitely a way of showing the up, down and
left and right arrow keys.
ua="\r "&chr("17")&" \r"; da="\r "&chr("18")&"\r ";
la="\r "&chr("23")&chr("14")&"\r ";ra="\r "&chr("14")&chr("24")&"\r ".
An alternate to the right-arrow key is ra="\r "&chr("20")&\r " but there is
no equivalent for the left-arrow key, so I rather use the
chr("23"),chr("24") and chr("14") combinations.

Mark,

Thanks.  I didn't think so.  I'm not a believer in GUI but I always
thought a user more intuitively picks up on a prompt actually showing
the arrows, instead of text like "UpArrow", "DownArrow", etc.

Regards,

Scott

No.  They don't even exists in codepage 437.
