- I have a field on a form I have specified as REVERSE, but it just comes
- up blank. I know Informix knows about the reverse video on my terminal
- because my menus come up reverse. In fact, I have some Informix
- executable from another person and its fields are reverse. Does anyone
- know why this is happening? Below is my form description file.
-
- I have tried this from the console, from an xterm, and from a vt220.
- None work. I am just starting out and this is my first form.
