Function keys & labels 8.41E

[GJohnson]

I have been testing with the QKVIEW program that Cognos provides. This
has a configuration to turn on and off function key support. It also
appears that I can actually click the function key label. 

The MPE system that I am converted made use of default function keys
that were configured under SETQKGO. I tried to unload this configuration
to a QKI file but it appeared to leave out the function keys.

It's handled semi-automatically. If you want to see the function key 
labels, you use the consolekeys program parameter that tells QUICK to 
display the function keys across the bottom of the screen. It is below
the 
standard 24 line screen so it doesn't take up any screen real estate.
Note 
that QUICK is just painting the keys, you can't click on them. But they 
will work by pressing the keyboard function keys.

The consolekeys program parameter is documented in the latest Rules
book.

Hi All:
 
PowerHouse 8.41E
 
If there's one thing that PowerHouse 4GL for Windows customers have been

asking for, it's function key support. The new version will provide
QUICK 
command support for function keys similar to what is available through
HP 
terminals and terminal emulators. This means that dynamic function key 
definitions can be specified using the KEY statement, including function

key labels.
 
 
Does this mean we increase the size of the DOS window to 26 lines or is 
this handled automatically by QUICK? 
i.e. 24 lines of screen followed by 2 lines for labels.
 
Thanks,
Peter
