 Since you are determined to do the process in your way then you do it.
Don
t let the experience and suggestions from the users on this list interfere
in your God-given right to do your programming in redundant and confusing
ways.

I believe there is no way to disable an F-key in RPG.  But then, I've never
designed a program that was so terribly designed as to need that ability.

Sorry for the flame, but gads man, don't you ever learn?

Booth, The 2 keys are allowed for use in the same routine. I am looking for
a way to disable one, when the other is on, in RPG.
You can't move *off because the pressing of the key has a power of its own.
Thanks,
