INPUT not saving values on ACCEPT

Is this a bug?: On an input statement, I have the ACCEPT key defined as ESCAPE. I enter a value on the screen and press ESCAPE but the value is not passed to the varable that is due to hold it!! Only if I hit return can I 'save' the value prior to ACCEPT. Is there a way to setup INPUT to save the value when ACCEPT it hit or a way for me to 'peek' at the value and pull it from Informix after the ACCEPT. (i.e. is it stored in some temp variable that Informix makes for the field reference. Lastly, is there a way I can fetch a screen value without looking at the variable defined for the screen? i.e. LET var = screen.field1 sort of thing? Thanks P.S. Yeah, I'm a newbie to this I guess... -- Harry Skelton - 1848 Beaver Dam Lane - Marietta, Georgia - 30062 404-590-7100 or 800-366-8181 Work -- 404-578-8085 Home skelton@jdp.dragon.com "He who flames improperly risks making an ash of himself!" --- Jeff Klumpp (jdk@ficc.uu.net)
