The crOnly field in TErec is specified to be important only as a positive or negative number. I would like to use this field for my own purposes by keeping a integer in the field. My TEKey catches all returns before TE gets them. What are any negative consequences if I do this? I have tested it with as many situations as I can think of and TE hasn't changed it so far. Does anyone know for sure what it does with this field, and is it safe to use in this manner? My problem is that I have around 15 different TE records on the screen at the same time, and would like an easy way before calling TEKey to know how to screen input going to the active TE record. I'd rather not have to make an extra variable that has to passed all over the place just to do this. If the crOnly field is not feasable, is there any other way to do it? Thanks, Eric Noel
