Strictly speaking, the toggle command is both and action and a data context
command. The catch is that the command mnemonic is T which doesn't fit well
with data. The way to use the Toggle command in a data field is to assign it
to a function key. I honestly can't remember how well this works on a
terminal.
As to threading third-party applications, no, you can't thread them through
the QUICK threading mechanism. The THREAD statement and verb accept a screen
file name only.

For screens written with the threads option, the command to toggle between
threads is T from the action block. Does this then mean I can only toggle
when control is at the action block or is there some other method to toggle
between threads.
In addition to that, if I have a non PowerHouse application as an option on
a menu, is it possible to make that a thread and how would I toggle from
that application.
Thanks
Gary Pastor
