Wang Thang

Hi Folks: Since there is some activity Re: Wang PCs, I'll pass allong some 'programming' information that had me a bit upset at the time I discovered it. Wang, has their own 'Shell' to go into things with (I.E. menus). The system that I was working on was DOS 3.1 or 3.2 (a ways back). The problem ---- IF you entered the BASIC development system via the WANG menus, the 'F' keys (and the 'HELP key', and the other 'special keys) had one set of 'keystrokes' to return. On the other hand, if you 'bailed out' of the 'WANG' system, and changed directories, and started "GWBasic" from a 'C:/' prompt, then the 'F' key information was different. (It's a long story how I found this out.) It DID cause a bit of hassle.
