default macros in Millennium

[Sue Boggs <boggs@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm still working on the mystery of the default macros assigned to
function keys in Millennium and I'm turning to this group for some help.
I would appreciate it if some people who are using Millennium would check
their default macro's assigned to Function Keys and let me know if yours
are set up correctly. You can tell if they are correct by printing out
manual page #100743 and then going into each module and hitting the keys
listed and seeing if they indeed do what the manual says they should.

I'm especially interested if your millenium logins were created before
Rel. 2002 but you have since upgraded to Rel. 2002 phase 2. I'm mostly
interested in the defaults for the logins innovative setup, milacq,
milcirc, milcat, and milser,  not any you might have created based
on the system login, though that might also be enlightening. 

This is especially valuable if you are fairly certain no one at your
institution has altered them (likely if you don't actually use them to
navigate between the different modes within a module). 

If your's are not working I'd be interested to know how they are coded.
If you go into the manager controlled options for each module and click
on the macro's tab they are the ones listed on the "no
modifier" tab.

For an example, for Milacq the following should be the first few
keys

F1 %ALT+g%o
F2 %ALT+g%c
F3 %ALT+g%s%p

and milcirc

F1 %ALT+g%d%h
F2 %ALT+g%c
F3 %ALT+g%h

I mentioned in a previous message
http://innopacusers.org/list/archives/2003/msg01369.html
that I've discovered that our's do not match the defaults listed in the manual #100743. Rather than being different for each module, they were all the same. The coding was correct for the milcirc module.  I also mentioned that it seemed since I had first opened the call with III they had corrected the milcat ones but not the others. Some developments have occurred that just deepen the puzzle.

The person working on our call says she did not edit our macro's, nor can she find out anyone who says they did, yet I have proof in the form of screen shots that prove that the assignments for Milcat F1-F7 did indeed change after I opened the call. I know no one here did it. She was still going to look into it a bit more but said it would actually be quickest just for me to edit the keys for the two remaining modules that were wrong. I consulted with a colleague at another library, who sent me they coding they had for milser & milacq. It turned out that the two were identical, and were the correct coding for the milacq module. He wasn't totally sure no one had altered those, though I find it hard to believe that in the case of milser they would have intentionally been changed to something that didn't work. He also said people there don't use them, so of course no one had noticed they didn't work as described. 

So I'm wondering if other libraries will find theirs also are not correctly set up with the defaults the manual says should be there. The person working on my call said trainers usually point out these keys during training, implying they would know if they were working at a site at that time. But if something changed with a software upgrade after that initial training and people don't use them, they wouldn't realize it. That is why I am trying to find out if it is a wide-spread phenomenon or I've just run into the only two libraries that are incorrect. You can reply to me directly and I'll summarize for the list.
