the code is so old it was before they invented the concept of zero

Our system does the 1=Y, 2=N thing too. It is so that folks who are keying
on the keypad all day can stay on the keypad as much as possible without
having to go look for the Y or N keys. Keeps up productivity. Or at least
that is the theory.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

I don't know why someone would have thought that Y equals 1 and N equals 2
that's just odd to me.
The code is confusing enough to make me just want to say, if they entered a
Y exit, if they entered a N continue or whatever.
That's job security right there!

n my 25 years in Pick I have never seen a construction like this to test for
Y 
r N or whatever it's doing.
hat is this doing?  What is this 1]2 and <1,1> doing ?  Why do I need this?

297: CHECK:   PRINT @(0,17): "Are the problem codes correct (Y/N)? " :
298:          INPUT ANSWER
299:          LOCATE ANSWER IN ' Y N 1 2'<1,1> SETTING TEST ELSE PRINT BELL
300:          LOCATE ANSWER IN ' Y 1'<1,1> SETTING TEST ELSE
301:             PRINT @(0,13):CLEAR.REST.SCREEN ; GOTO ENTER.PROBLEM.CODES
