key

A List of Keys

This attribute specifies an ASCII name that your program uses to refer to a specific tile. It must be a quoted string (no default) and is case sensitive.
("eb1" does not equal "Eb1").
Each key value MUST be unique within a dialogue definition. 

DCL Code Sample 

lisp49i : dialog {				  //dialog name
          label = "key";			  //give it a label

	: edit_box {				  //define edit box
	  key = "eb1";				  //give it a name
          label = "Edit Box 1";			  //give it a label
	  width = 40;				  //give it a width
	  fixed_width = true;			  //fix the width
	  value = "Enter a Number and press Tab"; //give it a value
	}					  //end edit box

	: edit_box {				  //define edit box
	  key = "eb2";				  //give it a name
          label = "Edit Box 2";			  //give it a label
	  width = 40;				  //give it a width
