I think you have to test at the start of the hit routine ahit0 what key was pressed. Any key at all pressed while the pointer is in the application window will cause the hit routine to be called. D2 will contain the uppercased keystroke with SPACE, ($20), converted to 1 and ENTER ($0A), converted to 2. So, if you wanted pressing "M" to do add to the count of hits you should check that D2.L = $4D. So the fact that F1 causes an event is really a red herring in this case.
