There is no in-built UIM support for "More options" in the way "More
keys" is supported. You have to do it yourself. From your message I
suspect you've already got most of it in place: You need a variable to
set the current row. You need condition statements for each condition
(row1, row2, row3). You need to specify the appropriate condition on
each option. You need a truth table to tell UIM that these conditions
are mutually exclusive. When F23 is pressed your code sets the row
variable and redisplays the panel. UIM does the rest.

Thanks for the extensive reply, Simon. I did consider the truth table idea,
but I didn't find a COND= option on LISTACT. If it were, and if I have a
LISTACT conditioned, wouldn't that mean that it's not available to the user
when the condition is not true? Meaning that if it isn't displayed, then I
can't use it? That's not quite what I'm after, but maybe I misread the
documentation on that.

Given the error messages you report I suspect the issue is either:
a) the truth table is not correct
b) you need more space for the options than you think (i.e., you
think they'll fit on one row but UIM thinks otherwise).

Truth table is implemented for F11=View2 ... F11=View3 functionality. Sorry
I misled you with that.

If I get a chance I'll have a play with this but it will have to
wait--40 poles require tamping into place first.

Now, see? If you'd invited me to help, I'd have been happy to tamp those
poles while you figured this thing out. It is just a trip across the pond
after all. But n-o-o-o-o. :)
