I don't believe he had the code which was the cause of the problem. But if the EXE he is running does not reset what on OKL F5 would be set to do, he could create another small program with your code, add a *DO OTHER_EXE* line of code:

*** Launcher.PRG ***
On key label F5 do Showvar in Launcher
do Other_Exe

PROCEDURE SHOWVAR
list memo to tempfile.txt noconsole
modify file tempfile.txt
RETURN
