I've been converting some dBase programs to Clipper and have come
accross a problem. The full screen editing mode invoked by a series
of @, SAY, GETs followed by a read acts differently in Clipper as
compared to dBase. In particular, you cannot terminate Clipper's
full screen mode in as many ways as you can in dBase. This is a big
problem in the application I converting now. Does anyone know of
a way to make Clipper behave like dBase for its full screen editing
mode. Help!!
