Usage notes
You can use the ActionKey class ToNumber method to convert ActionKey enumeration values to a numeric value: the integer that remains after the key name is stripped of its "PF" prefix. For Enter, the numeric value is 0. These values are useful in a value-testing loop in conjunction with the User Language JUMP statement.
