I am posting this query for a colleague who is not on the mailing list. Please send all replies to the address listed below: ============================================================================== Looking for a method of creating interactive programs (written in a programming language or DCl) that eliminates the use of the RETURN or ENTER key. (i.e. keying in Y or N to a YES/NO question would enter the reply to the system. The RETURN or ENTER key would not have to be depressed). Currently running VMS 4.5. John Tutka TUTKA@SCRANTON
