Just pointing out a new function available in 5.6 which some may have missed and might find useful.

And if not in 5.6...

@keyH if:
Then: inputpw pw "Enter Password "
If: pw = "" or pw ne "password"
Then: END
If:
Then: hardcopy;END

With 5.6 At line 2 in the example you can use dokey "u" to have filepro run
the normal update.

DOKEY allows one use filepro "reserved' keys for more then what they
previously were reserved for;  using B for a custom browse or the filepro
browse.

I have one application where H-hardcopy is passworded.

@keyH if:
Then: inputpw pw "Enter Password "
If: pw = "" or pw ne "password"
Then: END
If:
Then: dokey "H";END

Check the latest doc's.
