SET FUNCTION
Assign a character string to a function key
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
SET FUNCTION <nFunctionKey> TO <cString>
Arguments
<nFunctionKey> is the number of the function key to receive the
assignment.
TO <cString> specifies the character string to assign to
<nFunctionKey>.
Description
SET FUNCTION assigns a character string to a function key numbered
between 1 and 40 inclusive. When the user presses the assigned function
key, <cString> is stuffed into the keyboard buffer. <cString> can
include control characters, such as a Ctrl+C or Ctrl+S to perform
navigation or editing actions in a wait state.
List of Function Key Mappings
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function Key Actual Key
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 - 10 F1 - F10
11 - 20 Shift+F1 - Shift+F10

Warning! In CA-Clipper, SET FUNCTION is preprocessed into SET KEY
and KEYBOARD commands. This means that SET FUNCTION has the effect of
clearing any SET KEY for the same key number and vice versa. This is
incompatible with previous releases, which maintained separate lists of
SET FUNCTION keys and SET KEY keys.
Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB.
