By cutting and pasting, and trying it? By reading the code?

Suffice it to say that F4 brings it up, and mouse clicking on either of 
the "(F4)"s on the screen will pop it up, and mouse clicking on a date 
on the calendar will put the date in the field associated with the 
"(F4)" that one chose.

Its old code, and pretty stale.  I believe I used it just once.  No one 
will use this sort of solution on the green screen, hence my point: We 
are getting what we deserve.
