Attributes

id=

Specifies the identification value for a push button that you define. The identification value can be alpha or alphanumeric. This identification value is referenced by the control area tag (:ctrl.).
res=
Specifies the resource identification value for a push button that you define. This value is returned with the HM_NOTIFY and HM_CONTROL messages and can be any integer greater than 256 (0 to 256 are reserved for use by IPF).
text= ' '
Specifies the text for the push button that you define. Define the mnemonic for the push button by placing the tilde (~) character before the mnemonic character. For example:

 :pbutton id=xmp res=300 text='~Example'.

Note: Make sure the mnemonic you specify for author-defined push buttons does not conflict with the mnemonics of the predefined set of push buttons, or with any of IPF's shortcut keys. See :ctrl. (Control Area) for a description of the control area tag (:ctrl.) and a list of the predefined push buttons and their associated mnemonics.
