MAILHELP.HLB  —  DEFINE  Qualifiers

1    /ECHO

       /ECHO
       /NOECHO

    Specifies whether the command line is visible on the screen after
    you press the defined key. You cannot define a key specifying
    both the /NOECHO and /NOTERMINATE qualifiers. The default
    qualifier is /ECHO.

2    /IF_STATE

       /IF_STATE=state_list
       /NOIF_STATE

    Specifies a list of states, any one of which must be set in order
    to enable the specified key definition. If you omit or negate
    this qualifier, the current state prevails.

    States are used to increase the number of key definitions
    available on your terminal. The same key can be assigned any
    number of definitions as long as each definition is associated
    with a different state. State names can be any alphanumeric
    string.

3    /LOCK_STATE

       /LOCK_STATE
       /NOLOCK_STATE

    Retains the state specified by the /SET_STATE qualifier until
    you use the /SET_STATE qualifier again to change it. The default
    qualifier is /NOLOCK_STATE.

    available on your terminal. The same key can be assigned any

    with a different state. State names can be any alphanumeric
    string.

4    /LOG

       /LOG
       /NOLOG

    Specifies whether informational messages are displayed. These
    messages signal successfully created key definitions. The default
    qualifier is /LOG.

5    /SET_STATE

       /SET_STATE=state
       /NOSET_STATE

    Associates a state with the key you are defining. A state name
    can be any alphanumeric string. If you omit or negate this
    qualifier, the current state remains unchanged. You cannot define
    a key specifying both the /SET_STATE and /TERMINATE qualifiers.
