Not really. There's no way to have the browser transmit function keys
the way a terminal does to QUICK. Besides, PH Web does not use the QUICK
commands directly. Rather it's combinations. For example, a Search
command is more than just a Select. First the page (screen) is loaded,
then the Select command is started and any data prompts are satisfied
through the request, the the data is displayed, and finally the results
page is sent back as an HTML stream while the page (screen) file is
unloaded. Other commands such as Add and Change are similar
combinations.

I thought so.

What about the web delivered product. Does Powerhouse Web
support multi-level Fkeys?

PowerHouse will support multi-level function keys but
the labels are the issue. Labels for function keys are dependant on
using HP terminals or an equivalent emulator. Having multi-level
function keys without the labels can be very confusing for the user. So
if you're using Reflection as an HP terminal, it all should work.

I have worked with Powerhouse extensively since
the early 80's, mostly on the HP3000 but I had a couple of multi-year
contracts on HPUX and also an Alpha box. =20
One of the guy's here said he was told that only
one level of function keys are available on UNIX Powerhouse. None of
the UNIX clients I worked for had utilized function keys, so I can't say
for sure. I just always assumed that Powerhouse would support the keys
if they were there (Reflections for HP/Minisoft etc).
Is this true?=20
Is UNIX and/or Windows Powerhouse limited to 1
level of function keys?=20
