Conference iosg::all-in-1_v30

    I guess we wouldn't want to map the Select key, since this already has
    a meaning in ALL-IN-1.
    
    Philosophically, GPC is supposed to have an ALL-IN-1-like UI, so the
    interface is defined to work in a corresponding way with menu options
    to do things rather than using special keys. Those keys from the
    Character Cell i/f that *are* defined are only there to help luddites
    like me ( :-) ) move to GPC more easily.
    
    Of course it would be a simple customisation to fix this. If your
    customer feels strongly abut this, suggest they submit an SPR.

   Way back when, we got the distinct impression that the UI part of 
ALL-IN-1 development didn't like defining keypad 1-9.  The 7 is really 
only there for privileged users.  I don't know if the idea was to 
reserve them for customer use, or some sort of embarassment over the 
use of 1,2,4, and 5 for recognition back in V1 days.  Perhaps they saw 
the coming of laptops without keypads (not realizing that some of us 
would make the mistake of testing out of the only way to get one). How 
many of the 6 million ALL-IN-1 users have any idea why these keys have 
the error messages they have now.

There would be nothing wrong at all with defining KEY 7 on the GPC forms to allow
a conference to be added.  It's not used for anything now in a form context, is
it?  There are certainly enough notes written in our network's conferences that
say "Press KP7 to add this conference"...  Poor ALL-IN-1 GPC user that tries in
vain to follow instructions.

RE: .-1

Keypad keys have gone "out of vogue", haven't they?  But they are great ones
to use for "global" forms such as DEFAULT or MY_DEFAULT since nothing else
wants to define them.  On MY_DEFAULT I've setup 5 of those jewels to do fun
things.  Typing Gold-U and a UDP name can be quite boring, and some of us
hard-to-retrain "old-fashioned" types can't be troubled with F17-F20.UDP.

BTW, KEY 7 is not for programmers, but GOLD KEY 7 is.  It's so special
that it's hard-coded in the internals.  At one point it couldn't be overridden.
I don't know if that's still true or not.

Howdy folks.

In fact Keypad-7 will select an associated conference and add it to your
notebook. The problem in V3 seems to be that it won't work on the first
screen of a multi screen note.

Create a topic with multiple screens worth of text.
Modify Note it and add an associated conference.

Now read the note and when it stops after the first screen, press KP7...
nothing. Press RETURN to get the next screen full, then try KP7 and it
works ok.

This was not a problem in 2.4.

Here's the trace coming into the bottom of the first screen of text and
then pressing KP7.
