	I'm working on a project using (and learning at the same time)
FMS ver2.3 on VMS 4.4.  The people that I'm doing the project for want
the UP/DOWN arrow keys to perform the PREVIOUS/NEXT-FIELD functions,
instead of using the TAB/BACKSPACE default keys.  I tried the examples
given in the manual (p 5-17) but couldn't get it to work (note: I had
to convert their example to PASCAL for my use).  This is what I tried.

VAR	Keytable:	ARRAY [1..4] OF INTEGER;

BEGIN
	Keytable[1] := FDV$K_KF_NTR;
	Keytable[2] := 1033;
	Keytable[3] := FDV$K_KF_NXT;
	Keytable[4] := 1037;

	FDV$ATERM(%DESCR(TCA),12,2);
	FDV$DFKBD(%DESCR(Keytable),2);

The call returned FDV$_KIF, which specifies that an "Illegal key function
was given".  What did I do wrong?  Does anybody have an example (in PASCAL
preferably) to do this?  An example of defining the ARROW keys as I mentioned
above, would be even better.  Please include any related commands that must
be executed along with the DFKBD command...

Please mail responses directly to me, the machine that I normally read
this group on will be down for a while.
