The @when user key function/feature.... Wish list item?

[Bruce Easton]

Something maybe like:

@wuk*  If:
        Then:  kh(1,*)=@fd; gn(2,.0)=asc(kh)-"96"
             If:   gn ge "1" and gn le "15"
        Then:  goto (gn) of wuka,wukb,wukc,wukd . . . .
             If:
        Then:  end  'or other handler
