We got Miller High Life here in Texas, donno bout the Africa Miller. I
prefer Miller Lite over Bud Lite.

Back to the QUICK Question, I prefer VPLUS over QUICK. Isn't QUICK a
character based screen.

If it is, then you're probably experiencing the Block Mode/Char Mode
interchange bug. When in VPLUS Block Mode, and then you start a CHAR
MODE child process, then, when control returns to the VPLUS app you
should be calling VGETNEXTFORM using "$REFRESH" as your formname. You
may also want to look at VTURNON/VTURNOFF. Using a VCLOSETERM/VOPENTERM
is not recommended due to a stack management bug (DL keeps getting
bigger) in VPLUS, which is the same as HI-LI.

QUICK redefines the function keys.
Thus when HI-LI runs, the f-key defs are not as expected.
btw is hi-li company still around?
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sigh,

HI-LI means HIgh Level Intrinsics and is an attempt by HP to provide
logically related VPLUS intrinsics in a new bundled intrinsic to
facilitate
easier use of VPLUS.  It uses the same formfiles as standard VPLUS and
works
the same.  It probably isn't used much because most programmers have
already
done the same thing by making COPYLIB or subprogram calls that already
have
the bundling of VPLUS intrinsics done.  In fact the HI-LI intrinsics
have
never been migrated to native mode, unlike standard VPLUS intrinsics.

With regards to your second question, perhaps you're thinking of Miller
HI
LIfe, "The Champagne of bottled beers" :)   They're still around, but
are
being sold to a South African brewery.
