Versions with this bug will always have fgl_lastkey() return the logical AUTONEXT directive (2018) instead of the proper key value for any non-navigation key (e.g. everything but the accept key, tab, arrow keys, and RETURN will give a 2018). It's fixed in a lot of the 4.10.UD2+ ports (check release/*_4.1 for port-level bugfix information) and all of the 4.10.UE* and higher ports. -- Alan Denney aland@informix.com {pyramid|uunet}!infmx!aland "A system admin's life is a sorry one.
