Mike,
Thanks, that solved it... but a bit later in the session, when I was
testing another block of code, and noticed an identical statement
to the original problem worked fine, so I tried the old code that I
posted and it worked as well; I don't know what to think. I guess if
you want to be safe don't use & and abbreviated commands under
that construct.
JM,
You're right... using F12 you don't need to map to [Enter]. I also
tried mapping [F1] to [F12] and using lastkey(0) was able to pop up
my secondary form (if lastkey(0) = '[f12]' ) rather than RBase help...
My customers don't use RBase help and F1 is more intuitive
