The information in this article applies to:
SYS(32) is a new function available in FoxPro for UNIX only. This function returns ON if the current video display terminal is using scancode mode, or OFF if the terminal cannot use scancode mode.
Scancode mode is the mode in which you can use normal FoxPro keystrokes for navigating in FoxPro. When you are running FoxPro from the console, ?SYS(32) will return ON, because standard FoxPro keystrokes (for example, F10 to access the system menu) work properly. On many serial terminals, however, ?SYS(32) will return OFF, which means keystroke equivalents must be used.
For more information about keystroke equivalents, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
