 Description

     GETAPPLYKEY() is a Get system function that applies an INKEY() value to
     a Get object.  Keys are applied in the default way.  That is, cursor
     movement keys change the cursor position within the GET, data keys are
     entered into the GET, etc.

     If the key supplied to GETAPPLYKEY() is a SET KEY, GETAPPLYKEY() will
     execute the set key and return; the key is not applied to the Get
     object.

 Notes

     .  Focus:  The Get object must be in focus before keys are
        applied. Refer to Get:setFocus and Get:killFocus for more
        information.

     .  CLEAR GETS:  The Get object must be in focus before keys are
        applied.  Refer to Get:setFocus and Get:killFocus for more
        information.

 Examples

     This example will apply keystrokes until Exit:

        WHILE (oGet:exitState == GE_NOEXIT)
           GETAPPLYKEY (oGet, INKEY(0), GetList, oMenu, nMsgRow,;
        nMsgLeft, nMsgRight, nMsgColor)
        ENDDO
