When PCKEYS is ON the ’/’ key cannot be used to activate the menu bar.  The [MENUBAR] key must be used instead.  This allows the ’/’ to be input into a field on a form.

This command allows the optional logical expression <expL> to be evaluated.  If a value of .T. is returned PCKEYS is set ON.  If a value of .F. is returned PCKEYS is set OFF.  By default SET PCKEYS is OFF.


==Example==
<code lang="recital">
set pckeys on
? inkey(0)
// Press key to obtain value
</code>
