Syntax

ReadExit( [<lNewMode>] ) --> lOldMode

Arguments

<lNewMode>

A logical value can be passed that defines the new value for the exit keys flag of the READ command.

Return

Description

ReadExit() retrieves or changes a logical flag of the Get system which indicates if the up/down arrow keys can be used to terminate the READ command. When .T.

(false) requires the user to press the Enter key on the last Get to terminate READ.
