- TITLE : Recognized keys in PAL WAIT Table, Record or Field
-
-
-
-
- During a WAIT command, PAL script execution pauses for user
- input. Most keys pass through to Paradox, but some of them are
- blocked by WAIT. This blocking is usually signaled by a beep.
- This document is a list of all standard Paradox keystrokes that
- are and are *not* blocked automatically by each version of the
- WAIT command. For all WAITs, nonstandard Paradox keys (e.g.
- <Alt-1>, <Shift-F8>, or <Ctrl-A>) are blocked. WAIT RECORD and
- WAIT FIELD are progressively more restrictive than WAIT TABLE;
- for each, only the new keys blocked are listed.
-
- In order to use a blocked key, or prevent the use of a non-
- blocked key, you must place that key in the UNTIL clause of the
- WAIT. Note that some of the non-blocked keys are invalid in the
- contexts in which WAIT can be called, so it doesn't really matter
- whether they are passed through or not. More information on the
- WAIT command is found in the Paradox PAL User's Guide.

- NOTE: Any validity checks on the current field *must* be
- satisfied before you can leave the WAIT. REQUIREDCHECKS OFF and
- ISVALID() can help with this. Also, leaving a WAIT automatically
- exits you from fieldview; moreover, many inactive cursor keys in
- WAIT RECORD and WAIT FIELD become active in FieldView.
-
- WARNING: The following keys are *not* blocked, and may have
- undesired side effects: <Ctrl-F>, <Alt-F5>, <Alt-K>, <Alt-L>,
- <Ctrl-O>, <Alt-O>, <Ctrl-Z>, <Alt-Z>
