In that case, welcome to the wonderful world of events, methods, objects, functions, appservers, internal procedures, persistent procedures, PUB/SUB, multi language support, the debugger, widgets, dynamic temp-tables, dynamic queries, xml, datasets and so many more extremely exciting things !
What version are you on now?

Some new 4GL commands between v6 and v10? Man, you must not have read the docos yet 
Well, you are fortunate to have skipped the stormy times of Templates and the first shaky versions of the UIB in V7, then ADM1 in v8, which was quickly followed by ADM2 and then a stint of Dynamics (which is just about ready to be canned if you ask me). And, now you stepped in just before being able to use .Net controls to build your GUI....
Oh, by the way, since you are on v10 now, the entire Progress Development System is called OpenEdge (the company is still called Progress though) and the 4GL is now referred to as the ABL (Advanced Business Language or something like that); just to make things confusing for us old dogs :lol:
Anyway, again, welcome back and enjoy!
