I am using PH819C on an HP3000. I have discovered that the default Quick function keys (f1 - f8), are not getting set for any of my users. I have been using Powerhouse for over 20 years and I have always used the default setqkgo files and function key settings. I don't know what version, this quit working, but I have discovered that the only way the function keys get set is if you do a KL action field command. We are using reflections on Mac's and PC's. I know in the past when we had dumb terminals they got set properly, even though we programmed the function keys to do other things such as logon's. I discovered that the user's that do have function keys, thier default function keys in Reflections are set to Quick's default function keys.
Did this function go away when we got the ability to program the function keys? I do have one system that is using dynamic instead of standard function key mode and those get set when you go into Quick and then the Reflection default function keys get reset when you exit Quick.
I would like it to automatically set the function keys to the Quick default function keys when Quick is launched and then reset the Reflection default function keys back when exiting Quick.
I see that you can set what you want the default functions keys to be in the SETQKGO file. It is not logical that I have to tell Quick the default Quick function key setting in each of my QKGO files for Quick to work the way it used to work in the past. Especially when Quick knows what the default function key settings are better than I do.
Could the problem be Reflections, my terminal emulation program? I have another terminal Emulation program for GUI screens called VBView, but it doesn't seem like the function keys are getting set properly in that either. It was not designed for Quick, but Quick Screens will work in it.
