- I can't find it in the reference book, because its not there.
- I've tried using the keyboard command and I get:
-
- unrecognized command verb.
-
- I think that the problem may be that I'm running with an older version
- of Dbase IV. It's version 1.0. Maybe later versions of DBaseIV have the
- "keyboard" command. But this version doesn't. Can this be true? Any comment
- you DBASE IV experts out there?
