PFENTSELDISABLE=list

This overrides the default options for *clerk and allows you to disable keystrokes (and remove prompts for) for the "Enter Selection" prompt.

Any of the keys normally listed by filePro at the prompt e.g. D, H, U, X, F, and B can be disabled by including them as a "list" values.

For example, PFENTSELDISABLE=DF would disable (and remove the prompts for) "D-Delete" and "F-Print Form". It would also cause the new HELP prompt to appear as '?' if not included in the list.

A question mark ('?') represents HELP. Note that the HELP key cannot be disabled with this variable, although you can keep the new prompt from appearing. The default value is "?", which causes the same prompts as before to appear. Any "invalid" keys listed are ignored.

Note that any @KEY events are not disabled. Only filePro's default behavior for the keystrokes is affected. Also note that if the HELP key label is longer than 3 characters, enabling all of the prompts will not fit in 80 columns.
