Well, yes, this is happening when I've brought up a form in which I run Do MyMenu.MPR (I forget the extension) and I'w waiting at a READ EVENTS.

So, I changed the PRG temporarily not to stop at READ EVENTS, and found that Function Keys F2, F3, F4, and F5 yielded results -1, -2, -3, and -4, which look correct to me.
