I am also having problems with POST KEY in v16. It simply doesn't work :)
Sample code:
*Case of*
*:* ($i="copy")
*POST KEY*(*Character code*("c");Command key mask)
*:* ($i="paste")
*POST KEY*(*Character code*("v");Command key mask)
*:* ($i="cut")
*POST KEY*(*Character code*("x");Command key mask)
*:* ($i="selectAll")
*POST KEY*(*Character code*("a");Command key mask)
End case
The database is definitely running in Unicode mode - it was created new in
v16.
Any ideas? Still a bug?
