RE: Running out of function keys

Reduce the number of function keys to the most important ones, then have 1
function key to handle the rest.

Example line 24 on screen:
"F3=Exit F8=Functions"

When F8 is pressed, a pop-up window can show:

"Choose an option and press Enter"
1-Report 1
2-Report 2
3-Order Inquiry Program
4-Transaction History Program
__-Option

Hope this helps.

Subject: Running out of function keys

Folks bit of a basic question compared to some of the current
discussions but I have a situation that I'd lie some advice on.

I have a program that I need to modify to allow calls to some additional
programs via function keys. Problem is there is not enough remaining
unused function keys available. That is F1 -> F24 are all in use, is
there any way in which to extend the range. ?

Thanks
