Re: Line 24 5250 and LOOK software

[Trevor Perry <trevor@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

Under the CUA standards, line 24 is for messages, line 23 (and 22) are for
function keys.

If you cannot find this answer, post the question to the looksoftware forum
- you can find it under the customer area on their home page.

HTH,
Trevor
