Help! I'm moving an app from SunOS 4.1.3 and Informix family 5 (which actually includes 4GL 4.10) to Solaris 2.6 and the version 7.20's. The 4GL source below works fine on the former system, but the comments indicate things that work or don't work in the latter system. Did something change with the SHOWHELP function between 4.10 and 7.20? Many thanks in advance, Mr. Science --------------------------------------- database xyzzy main options help file "helpfile.ex" call showhelp (1) # This works fine! call showhelp (3) # This is OK, too! menu "main menu" command "Exit" exit menu command "Help" display "->->Help option chosen!!!<-<-" # This displays call showhelp (3) # This doesn't command key (F1) display "->->Hey, he pressed F1!!!<-<-" # This displays call showhelp (1) # This doesn't end menu call showhelp (1) # Nor does this end main
