Hi, I think more people would be confused by the following programming curiosity: If I (or other user) press SPACE with E after pressing SPACE with DOTS 1-2-5-6, and if the result is that one is returned to the document, then we do know that ESC command (at that particular prompt) does not trigger the Keyword thread to be terminated. If this is the case, then we could say that KeySoft's storage prompts are using inheritance to deal with function overloading (and possibly polymorphism, since folder and document list objects are treated as a list, with each folder list or a document list inheriting from a common abstract thing called a list). However, if the ESC command does return us to KeyWord Menu, then we'd know that KeySoft is just recycling the document open function using the same base case (if ESC is pressed, it should return to the menu). Don't worry about these things - for now, we (the geeks) will not even talk about how functions work, as explaining hypothetical keySoft operations using C++, Java and Python would take weeks and would fill severall tens of kilobytes of valuable traffic on here... For more information about what I've just said above, ask us (the programmers) off list... Cheers, Joseph
