Set Change_input_focus

Determines whether input routines (inquire, yesno(), etc.) are allowed to change the input focus.
Format:
SPECTRA> set change_input_focus on default
SPECTRA> set change_input_focus off
Alias:
SPECTRA> set cif on default
SPECTRA> set cif off

Description:
By default the input routines set the input focus to the SPECTRA text window. This way the user does not have to click on the window which waits for input. An additional advantage is that users are notified whenever an action is required. The disadvantage of this feature is that it interfers brutally with any activity in a different window, an editing session for example. That's why it can be disabled.
