RE: Catching F3/F12 from QCMDEXC?

In the case of SEU they either send a message and watch for that message
in PDM, or they set an environment variable to indicate SEU ended with
F3.

Back when I was doing some work for IBM on Y2K stuff, I worked the guy
that originally worked on PDM (he's at IBM Canada now). They have the
equivalent of an "INI" file or "Registry" where they keep all their
settings.
