Hi Ben,
I am currently using it in RBW6.5++ and it works. I rarely do anything in
DOS anymore. I have been using this code through all versions of R:Base for
many years, both DOS and WIN and it has always worked. I never used the
[F12] key because I tried it a long time ago and found that R:Base only
worked for the keys F1 - F10. That was probably in the 4.x days. It may
have changed by now.
I guess my question would be how could R:Base interpet that you pressed the
[F12] key to run any kind of code unless it was in fact keymaped to [Enter]?
I would assume you are saying that R:Base interpets it as [Enter] but reports
it from lastkey(1) as [F12]. The only thing I can think of is that you may
have been using LASTKEY(0) instead of LASTKEY(1). LASTKEY(1) tells
you the actual key pressed ( [F12] ) while LASTKEY(0) tells you the current
mapping ( [Enter] ).
Best regards,
Mike Young
