Re: Named Indicators...

[boothm@xxxxxxx]

How many do you really have to remember?  F1(KA), F3(KC), F4(KD), F5(KE),
F12(KL), and F24(K?) are about all we ever use.  They are clear,
universal, never conflict with other indicators, and are always free to
use.  (I will admit to having to count out F24 because I never actually
use that one myself.)  The nice thing is that virtually every RPG
programmer understands these indicators thoroughly and never needs to be
brought up to speed.
