I am sure it is a silly question, but I spent the whole day burrowing
through documentation, and I am nowhere closer an answer, so I though
someone in the NEWSland might be so kind to help.

In dBase III+ I would like to present a user with a menu, and then have
the user press one of the FUNCTION keys to choose a menu item.  I do know
I cannot reprogram F1, but I can live with that.  If possible, I would
also like very much to display running day's time on the display while
waiting for a keypress.

Some choices would cause an entry of a particular value into a memory
variable while others an execution of a procedure.

If this is reasonably well explained in the dBase iii+ manual, I could not
find it.  If you should be so kind as to reply, please assume I do have
manuals, and can find what native dBase III+ commands/functions do, but
that other than that I am a babe in the woods.

I would appreciate it if you would reply to me via email.  Thanks indeed
VERY MUCH for your help in advance.
