Some of the old stuff can be tough without documentation on orphaned commands. Although they should put that this command has been replaced and is provided for backward compatibility, they should still include the help so you can determine what the code was trying to accomplish. This would have been very little effort since the help text already existed in older versions of Fox.

>>>>>>>Nope, LastKey() value is still 27. Strange. If I use a regular WAIT WINDOW and click the mouse, then the value will change. I'm trying to make sure that at this point in code that the LastKey() value is not 27. I really don't care what it is as long as it's not 27 and not anything that causes an action to fire.
