>I believe the plain is correct. I have been using On Key Labels (OKLs). The problem is when calling other forms from the main form. The OKLs begin to get mixed up. I tried putting push key clear in the init method of the called form but I am getting strange results sometimes. I believe pushing and poping OKLs will probibly not work when running a number of forms at once. It looks like the init of a called form runs before the lost focus of the main form and other stuff like that.

Menus is the way I suggested...but it really isn't that difficult.

In the form Activate:
PUSH MENU _MSYSMENU
DO MyMenu.Mpr

Then in the Deactivate:
POP MENU _MSYSMENU
