MENUITEM PREDISPLAY

[Peter Bateman]

Gildas:

  Look in your terminal manual. You may be able to cause QUICK to get the
  terminal to fire off a carriage  return <cr> back to the computer.

  For example: on HP terminal I believe the escape sequence to fire  
function
  key, F8 is <esc>f8E so the trick is to first load the function key ( 
lookup
  programming function keys in the terminal manual )
  with <cr> then send the firing sequence. info = ESC + 'f8E' in the 
initialize
  procedure.


Regards,
Peter
