The choice of programming language > has absolutely no bearing on program behaviour. Sorry, Martin it seems I may have been misinformed about the default situation with writable icons. I was told by an Acorn C programmer that C Programs have to specifically cater for every key pressed and 'enable' function keys, so to speak, whereas a BASIC program written for the wimp would automatically use function key definitions, unless they were specifically re-jigged to do something else. I can understand this is wrong and the use of the keys is language independent: that makes far more sense. > Function keys work in writable icons unless the application asks to > process all key presses and fails to return unprocessed ones to the > Wimp. Ah, so those programs which don't return unused presses are therefore simply incomplete! > Outside writable icons (e.g., in a word processor window) function > keys are not expected to work. Applications that insist on supporting > them may of course do so, but that would be unusual. Going back a few years, those programmable f-keys were damned useful for inserting macros.
