SUMMARY:
In previous versions of Progress the progress.ini was the best way to customize the environment for some applications.
In the case of character mode aplications there were some specific sections in which we could set the environment for them.
Now in version 8.2x and greater, the best way to do this is work with
the registry; however in the change of versions some old secctions were removed from the environment as WinChar Keys.
So if you have applications coming from older version which used to take entries from the Progress.ini file those applications won't work in the same way they used to work.
To solve this problem basically we have to add a new section in the
PROGRESS registry area under :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\9.x
1.- This new section should be added as a new key which will generate a folder called "New Key1".
2.- You have to rename this to "WinChar Keys".
3.- Once you have renamed the key you should add the old keys definitions with the same flavor you used to define them in the .ini file.
4.- These entries should be added as new -> String Value, then you just need to set the old value.
Now you have all your old keys working with the new edition of character client This works fine for verison 8.2x or greater.
