Set Keymap will just remap the desired function key to a new user defined combination keys, like F2 to Alt+S,F3 to Ctrl+W. we can't associate any function or procedure with it when desired key or combination keys pressed.
As described by MikeB, apparently it seems, there is no way to trap a key at the form level. It could be done simply, if, R:base technologies just add a "On Press Key" event into form properties. It will be very helpful for a good professional level application development becoz most of the application development tools provide this facility.

My basic idea is to run a user defined form action or call another form when a application user press a specific function key in the form. In other words, I want to over ride the built-in functionality of function keys provided by R:Base. Rehan Wyne MIT
