1728.0. "Problems with LIST in OAINI.COM and Gold M" by GIDDAY::SETHI (Man from Downunder) Fri Nov 06 1992 01:34

    G'day All,
    
    I came across an old bug in version 3.0 it's been around for quite a
    long time.  To reproduce it do the following 
    
    1. Create a command procedure called OAINI.COM (to test place in
       OAUSER).
    
    2. Add the following lines 
    
    	$ write oamailbox -
            "oa list <file spec>.WPL"
        $ @dclmailbox:
    
    3. ALLIN1/NODEFER
    
    4. The .wpl is displayed enter Gold M and the read menu is displayed,
       at this point you cannot exit the menu.  The user has to do a <exit
       if he does not have CMD priv. the user has to be logged out.
    
    Is this a known problem is there a way around this problem ?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Sunil

	Hi, I think this one wins "Obscure Bug of the Week" award! :-) A quick look at this suggests the problem is because the GOLD-M form contains explicit named data for the EXIT and RETURN keys. Other forms invokable from the same position (eg the interrupt menu) which don't have explicit named data for these keys seem to work OK. As this named data just says "OA$FLD_EXIT" and "OA$FLD_DONE", it should be OK to remove it. That might fix the problem, but I haven't tried it. The next question of course, is why does this happen!?
