Problem

Symptoms: The customer has found that some keys that are displayed in a prompt are displayed as characters. For example, the Backspace key in a prompt will display as the character P. This is difficult if the customer creates a macro that uses the Backspace key in a prompt. Solutions: The character set and number value of the Backspace key is 128,80. Thus, the Backspace key is displayed as character 80 in character set 0, which is a capital P. This is the same procedure for other keys displayed in a prompt, like the function keys. The contents of prompts should always be evaluated before displaying them.
