INTRODUCTION

Awhile back I wrote a little program PUSHBU.PRG to produce pushbuttons with
pop-out action and a number of people (including myself) have used them
without any compaints.  Nonetheless, PUSHBU.PRG was really never properly 
integrated into the Get System, mainly because of the way it handled 
the waitstate.

Meanwhile, another public domain offering by Dan Comeau (RADIOBTN.PRG) is
well integrated with the get system, but does not include any push buttons,
and if you're not already using RADIOBTN.PRG you may wish to take a look
at it.  Anyway, to make a long story shorter, I finally have gotten around
to putting my push buttons into a modified version of Dan's button engine.

The buttons seems to work well based on the way I routinely use them; 
however, no one else has tested them, so let me know if you find any bugs.  
All testing of PUSHBUTN.PRG has been done with Clipper 5.01a and RTLINK.

Also, in the not too distant future I'll put out an upgrade which
includes monochrome buttons, VALID, 5.2 testing, and whatever else I can
think of, and maybe FT mouse support.  BTW, the monochrome routine is
included, it just isn't connected...so if someone would like to save me
a little work please feel free to have at it.

...AND YES, STARBUCK IS A REAL NAME <g>
    I get alot of questions about my name.  Yes, Starbuck is a real name.
    It was originated by a guy named Richard Johnson in the 14th century.
    One fine day this guy just up and changed his name to Starbuck...
    to this day no one knows why.
