10.11.7    Up Link Graph and Down Link Graph

Use UP LINK GRAPH and DOWN LINK GRAPH to create a fixed Browse Sequence to other Graphic Displays.  The  <P_UP> and <P_DN> pushbutton keymacros use the Up link and Down Link Graphic Names specified in the Graphic Parameters to link multiple graphic displays.

The <P_UP> and <P_DN> are similar in concept to the <GOTO GRAPH> pushbutton, except they are generalized.  If the <P_UP> and <P_DN> are placed on a Toolbar, they will work for any Graphic Display that has the UP LINK and DOWN LINK parameters set.  The <P_UP> and <P_DN> are also useful for Block Detail Displays.
