Setting Default Function Keys

[Georgia Miller]

Peter,
Thanks so much for the help.  I have waited 3 days and not heard a word about this from Cognos Customer Support.  What I did was add the following Initial Procedure to the 1st screen called by the QKGO files.  It sets the default Quick function  keys and labels.  The only thing it doesn't do is put the function keys and labels back to what they were before Quick was run.  I guess if they need that they can close that session of reflections and re-run it.

 ;Initial Procedure to Set Quick Function Keys               
 PROCEDURE INITIAL
   BEGIN
     PUSH RESTORE KEYS, RESTORE LABELS
   END
