On the face of it, you should get RMC() invoked any time you press the Alt
key. If you don't, I'll take a look at when I'm on a Windows box.
If you want something other than that, you'll need to explain it better to
me. The Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys are modifier keys. Typically you connect
some other key, say 'W' and then add a modifier key to it in a filter to
only get your method invoked when the W is pressed and the modifier key is
already pressed. So you could connect maybe Alt-W.
For that to work, the user has to press the Alt key and while holding it
down press the W key. Each key event notification comes in one at a time.
You can't connect the Alt key and then set up any way to say I only want
the Alt key when no other key is pressed after it.

I'm not sure that you are doing anything wrong. F1 is a special system
key, there is no way to over-ride its behavior. In Windows, any time you
press the F1 key you will get the Help notification.
My advise is to not try and fight the operating system here, but rather
pick a different key for your 'about'. Maybe F14 instead.
Also, I'm not sure how the handicapped support fits in here.
