 INPUTMODE()
 Determines the previously active or the currently active input mode
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     INPUTMODE([<lActiveMode>]) --> nInputMode

 Argument

     <lActiveMode>  Designates an optional parameter.  If this parameter
     is .T., the function returns the currently active mode.

 Returns

     INPUTMODE() returns a numeric value that indicates the input command for
     the previously active or the currently active input mode.

 Description

     INPUTMODE() allows you to determine what type of input command has been
     interrupted.  When called without a parameter or with .F., the function
     returns the currently active mode or, if no input has occurred, the
     previously active input mode.

     If the function is called with <lActiveMode> set to .T., then only the
     currently active input mode or 0 is returned.  The following table shows
     the return values as well as the symbolic constants and their
     accompanying definitions.
