Description

The PROMPT() function returns the prompt of the most recently selected Xbase style pop-up or menu option. If there are no active pop-ups or the [ABANDON] key was pressed, the PROMPT() function will return a null string. If the prompt has been defined using the DEFINE POPUP command, the PROMPT() function will return the selected menu option as a character string. The command SET COMPATIBLE must be set ON when using Xbase style menus.
