The @when user key function/feature....

[John Esak]

@wukNNN - F3, F4, F8, F9

So how many people use this great function?

I think it is often overlooked, and I know I use it a lot in all my stuff.

My feeling is it allows a whole extra level of processing, i.e., a whole
different place to "be' when you're inside a filePro program.  It has some
trickyness to it when you first use it, but it is so worthwhile.  Does
anyone have any questions about it or any good suggestions regarding it?


4.1      @WUKnnn     When user keys  F3 ,  F4 ,  F8  or  F9  is pressed
                     in field "nnn". When the key is pressed, the special
                     key label can be tested by using system maintained
                     field @sk. The following key labels apply.

                              F3         INSL
                              F4         DELL
                              F8         DPRT
                              F9         GRAF



This is the HELP for the feature... I don't think many would use the feature
if this is all they ever saw about it.  Any comments?

P.s. - we have had a nice long spread of messages this past month or so
about filePro-related stuff... And then today, finally, there was nothing
but 9 messages I had to delete without-reading because none of which were
about filePro, but rather about some pretty unrelated open source thing or
whatever.  Yes, usually, topics start out loosley related to FP, but soon,
we end up seeing the same old names and the same old topics that have
nothing whatever to do with what we want to be talking about here.  I'm one
who sees no problem with OT: subjects, but that little mechanism is fast
forgotten and we end up with the filePro people going away for long periods
of time and the forum not being used for what we all want it used for... And
eventually it not being used at all for long periods.  So, when this
happens, I'm going to take it upon myself to throw out some stuff that might
spark filePro talk.
