wasn't really a case of stopping at Windows. It was something that was added at
the last minute because Windows needed a way to load the new functions keys
(note that function keys in QUICK for Windows are new with the E release). This
can already be done on other platforms using terminal escape sequences. So we
added escape sequences fired off using INFO verbs. It works but it's not
elegant.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
