@...PROMPT


Syntax:     @ <expN1>, <expN2> PROMPT <expC1> [MESSAGE <expC2>]

Purpose:    To paint menu prompts and define prompt messages to display
            when the menu is activated.

Arguments:  <expN1> is the row where the prompt displays.

            <expN2> is the column where the prompt displays.

            <expC> is the prompt string.

Options:    Message: The MESSAGE clause defines the message to
            display each time the current PROMPT is highlighted.  The
            message displays on the row specified by SET MESSAGE.

Usage:      @...PROMPT is the display portion of the Clipper light-bar
            menu system.  Each @...PROMPT statement paints a menu prompt
            and defines an associated MESSAGE to be displayed on the
            line specified by SET MESSAGE TO.  The light-bar menu is
            then invoked with MENU TO.  Prompts can be painted in any
            order and configuration of row and column position.  MENU TO
            navigates them in the order they are defined.

            There can be up to 32 PROMPTs per menu.

            Color: PROMPTs are painted in the current standard
            color.  The highlight appears in the current enhanced color.

Library:    CLIPPER.LIB
