Display on Mouse Click
I see on screens we have from software packages that on the bottom of the screen, for example, F3-Exit, the F3 has a "button" look to it.
How is that done?

What terminal emulator are you using when you see this?

If this only happens on specific (3rd-party) screens, it seems likely that the display files used the PSHBTNFLD and PSHBTNCHC keywords. If it happens more widely, it's possible that the emulator setting is enabling it. In the PC Comm emulator from iSeries Access, this can be enabled for all/most screens through the Edit menu bar option -- Edit-> Preferences-> Hotspots...

I found some source code that displays F10 as a "button":
It even shows as a "button" in the source. I'm not seeing anything in the source code that's causing this.

Since Tom mentioned it, here is a nice little example of the PSHBTNFLD / PSHBTNCHC keywords, as rendered by the emulator in IBM Client Access:

Thanks for saving me from any further knocking myself out trying to figure this out.
