These are very slick and handy options that allow users to capture
information about the R:BASE environment and/or connected database.
These options can be accessed from anywhere in R:BASE by pressing
the [F3] key or selecting "Data Dictionary" option from the Menu
Bar under "Tools".
While programming and customizing applications, if you wish to
use custom font color, background color, for CHOOSE, DIALOG, or
PAUSE commands you can press the [F3] key, select the color you
like and then either double-click for single item or [OK] button
for multi-select items. Using this approach, you can capture the
name of the color listed in the first column.
The Data Dictionary | Color tab includes a list of 190 colors.
Did you know that now you can choose which option you want as
the return value?
Here's how:
Press [F3] Data Dictionary Key and notice the additional option
for [Return Value].

Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
