Error 117:  Invalid procedure or function reference
 
An attempt was made to assign a near procedure to a
procedure variable.
 
Procedure variables must refer to far procedures.
 
To correct the problem:
 
■ Turn on the Far Calls directive under the Compiler
  option in the Options menu.
 
■ Place the procedure declaration between the {$F+} and
  {$F-} directives.
