Description: 
============

 Patch VALM*1.0*6
  
 NOIS: ZZZ-1200-N0512
 Test Site:  FORUM, CPRS
  
 Recognize up-arrow so that the user can exit help text smoothly.
  
 Also, List Manager no longer calls its Date/Time or string manipulation
 APIs.  Instead, it calls the equivalent Kernel APIs.  (The ListManager
 APIs have not been changed at all.)  Although these APIs will continue
 to be supported, applications which use them might consider switching
 to the standard Kernel APIs, too.
  
 The following are the ListManager APIs which are no longer called,
 along with their Kernel equivalents:
  
 ListManager           Kernel
 -----------           ------
  $$FDATE^VALM1(X)      $$FMTE^XLFDT(X,"2D")
  $$FTIME^VALM1(X)      $$FMTE^XLFDT(X)
  $$FDTTM^VALM1(X)      $$FMTE^XLFDT(X,2)
  $$NOW^VALM1()         $$FMTE^XLFDT($$NOW^XLFDT)
  $$UPPER^VALM1(X)      $$UP^XLFSTR(X)
  $$LOWER^VALM1(X)      no equivalent - too esoteric
  
 NOTE: Users should not be on the system during installation of this patch.
 If they are using any application which uses List Manager (e.g. CPRS,
 Outpatient Pharmacy, Appointment Management), they may experience a Clobber
 Error.  This patch requires patch VALM*1.0*4 and VALM*1.0*5.
