  • Subject: Re: Function Key handling in multiple Subfiles.

To the best of my knowledge, Rajeev, function keys are not associated
with subfiles (with the exception of the SFLDROP keyword, I guess)

but, instead, function keys are associated with the record format that
you place them in.

I'd suggest that you:
   1) keep track of whether your overlayed subfile is being displayed
        at any given moment.
   2) check the row & column that the cursor was at when the F-key
        was pressed... and figure out whether the cursor was in
        subfileA or SubfileB
   3) based on the results of 1 & 2, above, take a different action
        in your program.

Does that help?  or do you need more info?
