Sorry, i did not explain myself correctly. I wanted to suggest avoiding using 
F4 to go to delete mode. We too use F4 for promt in our applications. From what 
i understood of the original post, the F4 key was used for something else 
(mainly to delete).

Denis,

Curious as to why.  We use F4 for prompt in all of our applications.  Mainly
because it was a standard from IBM that already existed, so we didn't have
to worry about creating the standard ourselves.
