Re: Need help with chkkey & getkey V6.5++ dos

I still don't understand -- here is my eep   set escape off set keymap [F12] = [Enter] set var akey = (lastkey(1)) if akey = "[F12]" then pause 2 using "F12 was pressed" endif set escape on set keymap [F12] off return Am I right in saying that the exit eep won't execute until I press [Enter] to leave that field.  So the last key is [Enter] not [F12] How do I detect that [F12] has been pushed?

I touch F12 but nothing happens.  Of course the eep doesn't execute until I exit the field.  so how do I use it?   I want to bring up a second form when F12 is pressed.   Bernie Lis Megabytes, Inc.
