RE: Is this possible and if so

Douglas,

I'm currently using a package software that uses the F4 key to prompt.  They 
also follow the promptable fields with a plus + sign.  The RPG program then 
determine the cursor location at the time the F4 key was pressed and calls 
the appropriate window program.  They have over a hundred callable programs 
starting with WINxxxx.  This works well and can be incorporated into custom 
programs.
