@...PROMPT

    @...PROMPT is used to place menu selections on the screen.  The menu
    selection will be placed at the location specified by the row and
    column.

Syntax

    @ <exp N1>, <exp N2> PROMPT <exp C> [MESSAGE <exp C>]

Arguments

    <exp N1> is the row where the prompt displays.

    <exp N2> is the column where the prompt displays.

    <exp C> 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.
