Unifields
Unifields are field representations for displaying and entering data in character mode. They also work in Windows, but support only basic video attributes (bright, underline, inverse, and blink). They do not support proportional fonts or other properties.
In character mode, EditBox widgets are automatically mapped to Unifields.
In Windows applications, Unifields can be used to improve performance in components with several hundred fields, because they do not require Microsoft Windows resources.
Many GOLD key combinations and text editing functions are recognized only in Unifields.
If you use split bars in a component with Unifields, it is possible to edit the Unifields, but layout changes made with the split bars are not applied to the Unifields.

- $UNIFIELD_NO_CR_KTT specifies that the CR character (Enter key) does not go through the keyboard translation table.
