cursor keys

["Morris Krok" essence@xxxxxxxx]

Carl,

  I located the cursor keys in both Xy3 and Xy4 and both kbd files appear
normal showing the functions to enable them to move in all four directions.
So why they do not function in this program of mine is a mystery.
  Basically this program monitors the keystrokes in conjunction with a spl
file that contains the abbreviations and their expansions. If the letter
pressed will expand into a longform then it appears on the command line. If
it does not represent a word then the command line is clear but if another
letter is pressed which together with the first letter repesents a word from
the spl file then it will appear on the command line.
  The code to write this was quite tricky, but perhaps the programming
gurus will be able to do it more efficiently than I have done without the
curosr bug which I have got around by assigning other characters to perform
the cursor key movements.
