Re: AW: Quick question on indicators - more philosophical than anything else

I figured that, but thought there might be a work around I had never heard
of.....oh well it was a thought....

no...the TAB key doesn't return control to the program so there's no way
you could check for a TAB.

Thanks,

Yes it does, I specifically check for enter key to execute validation
routines.

Does this tell us if the Enter key was pressed? (If it does, then
this is the only way to know that the Enter key was pressed?)

Hi,

To be honnest, I never used *INK-Indicators, nor did I use numbered
indicators for function keys.
Even 20 years ago we used position 369 in the file data structure and
checked the hex value of the function key pressed.
(The file data structure and hex values were included from a copy

member).

In this way it was quite easy to work with function keys.

Betreff: Quick question on indicators - more philosophical than

Is anyone still using the old indicator style of INKC, INKA, etc.?

Is there any reason why this should even be used today?

I know some are advocating using no indicators at all in a

program....but

is that not one of the strengths of RPG?
