Note the following:

The {pos} screen coordinates for the object must be given and must be valid. Each of the coordinates may be a Numeric Variable, an Expression, or a decimal constant.
The {name} operand defines the information that is placed beside the CHECKBOX. The Logical String of the character variable or character literal is used. Alt Keyboard Sequence for the CHECKBOX is allowed by placing an "&" character in the {name}. That is "Ex&ample" would define the name of the CHECKBOX as "Example" and the Alt A keyboard combination would select this CHECKBOX.
If the optional {parent} parameter is not specified, the default window is used.
The SETMODE *SUBTABFORENTER control alters the ENTER key behavior of a CHECKBOX.
