What about assigning Ctrl-B to an unused function key in the terminal
browser? The put a button on the tool bar of the browser named "ML Edit" or
something. Then when the user has the popup field in context he/she can
click the button and proceed to edit the multi-line text.
Regards,
Blue

Hi Denn,
I did find that the entryrecall ( see below ) option enables ctrl-B to work
immediately when pressed rather than having to press return also,
quick auto=myftp2c info="entryrecall"
but I don't believe that there is an edit control other than ctrl-B for this
option; I just found the following entry in the knowledge base '- the up
arrow is redefined to move up a line in POPUP so you have to use CTRL-B',
which confirms this.
You will see a list of all acceptable entries ( for different terminal types
) if you create the disk file QKGOTIC as described below,
Problem
Caller would like information on the options available in pop-up
windows and the associated key sequences
Solution
when you type 'list' in the prompt field of screen '( Terminal
Interface Configuration (TIC) ) in the 'setqkgo' utility, a list file (
QKGOTIC ) is produced of all available key sequences and the mode of
operation - details below.
e ( for enter )
dummy ( dummy qkgo file name )
8 ( Terminal Interface Configuration (TIC) )
list
then enter @ in response to prompt 'Enter terminal type to report:'
the above produces a listing in file QKGOTIC for all terminal types
and key sequences. An extract from this file is displayed below ( used
command print QKGOTIC ).

Subject: Editing multi-lined fields in Quick (MPE/ix)
Good Morning all,
I am having trouble with a Quick screen. It is working but needs some
improvement for user friendliness. This is on an HP e3000 system.
Here is the file and field in question:
FILE OFFER-SCRIPT DESIGNER
TEMPORARY T-OFFER-TEXT CHARACTER * 2048
FIELD T-OFFER-TEXT LABEL "Script" for 11,60 POPUP FROM 3,10 TO 22,71
T-offer-text is loaded from 60 byte items on a detail data set
(offer-script). The data is being loaded into the variable okay
Here is the problem:
I understand that you are able to do a up arrow and enter to put a field
into 'edit' mode that allows changing the data rather that needing to
re-enter it. This method seems to work okay for other fields. It does not
work on the above- defined multi-lined field. We have found that it is
possible to recall the data properly by using the Ctrl B key combination.
Do any of you know if something special is needed to get these multi-lined
fields to go to edit mode using the up-arrow-enter method?
