exitcode, if specified, receives a value to indicate how the field was exited. Note that for a specific value (except 0) to be returned, it must be activated by a corresponding type code (for the positive EXITCODEs), or by the funmap parameter controlling function key usage (for the negative exitcodes).
The number of command or function keys is limited by your terminal and function key translation module, subject to a maximum of 127 for direct function keys, and 999 for "virtual" function keys using the chr(7)+chr(250)+###. sequence.. Note that we use the terminology Command Keys (Cmdx) in place of Function Keys (Fxx) to underscore the idea that they can be mapped on to the physical function keys any way you like.
When |K (Windows keyboard mode) is NOT used, the Shift+Arrow keys work like function keys (same as they do in text mode), and will generate exitcodes based on the <tdv>.IFX translation table. The standard exitcodes for the shifted arrows are: -36, -37, -38 and -39. See FIXTRN.LIT for details on editing translation tables.

Comments
The upper bit of the funmap parameter must be set in order to enable the specified exitcode. This can be accomplished by setting funmap = -1, enabling all function key exits as well, or by adding 2^31 to any other funmap value.
