We programmed the F1 sequences so a standard set of keys become short cuts, For instance in ScreenMan F6=Save/exit; F7=mark; F8=copy; F9=cut; F10=paste; F11=exit without saving; F12=save stay resident, as just a few. I find it interesting that the GUI "control key" "c", "v", and "x" are the same as FileMan F1 sequences. Does anyone know who created that standard?
