For the past 8 years I've used various versions of Clarion for DOS.
I recently started playing around with the Clarion for Windows
version (standard edition) and several questions have come up.

In all the Clarion for Windows FORM entry screens, you have to use
the TAB key to move between fields.  Is there a way to use the ENTER
key to move between fields?  For myself and my exisiting Clarion for
DOS users, they are used to using the ENTER key.

Also when in a TABLE in Clarion for DOS, I can represent a record on
multiple lines.  See this example:

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                          Customer Master Maintenance                   |
|                               TEST CUST, INC.                          |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|     CUSTOMER BILLING INFORMATION         CUSTOMER SHIPPING INFORMATION |
|Abrv Name                 City            Name                 City     |
|COL1 TEST CUSTOMER INC.   COLUMBUS,       SAME                          |
|     1234 ANYWHERE  AVE.  OH 99999                                      |
|                                                                        |
|COLU TEST CUSTOMER INC.   COLUMBUS,       TEST CUSTOMER BRANCH COLUMBUS,|
|     54321 SOUTH MAIN     OH 99999        7777 WEST MAIN       OH 99999 |
|                                                                        |
|                                                                        |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|         ESC - Quit    INS - Insert    DEL - Delete    ENTER - Change   |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Each ABRV above is a different address that is related to a
customer.  Each Address has multipe lines for street, city, zip
etc..  This type of information is very natural to view in multiple
lines like above.

So far in my limited experimentation with Clarion for WIN, the
BROWSE template seems to be the equivilant to the TABLE.  But I have
yet to figure out how to present multiple lines for a single record
in a BROWSE template.

Any help on these 2 questions would be most appreciated.  Please
send email directly back to me.

Thanks for your help,

Jerry

Multiple lines can be displayed in a browse by selecting "Last on Line"
in the List Field Properties as described on page 394 of the User's
Guide.

Jerry,

The standard Windows behavior is to use Tab.  There are some exceptions in
some areas of some programs, but the norm is to use TAB.  One can work
around this by use of the ALIAS function.  Or you can write a template.
However, new customers of yours make not like using ENTER as it is not
standard.

The list box (in a browse procedure) can have multiple lines.  Go into your
list box formatter and select one of the fields that you want to be last on
a line.  Open the properties and check "Last on line".  The other fields
will then wrap around.

HTH,
