Argh! Repost due to eaten code:

Yes, of course that would work. It just wouldn't be very intuitive in a calculator context. You could add a trap for the +,-,/,*,= keys and parse that to the alpha equivalent label on the button perhaps, but you would still need an alpha based shortcut key to appear on the button, ie:

Caption = " + \<A"

This gives you an ugly caption, but that can be overcome by padding the length of the label out and re-sizing the button so that the "\<A" is cut off on the right:

Caption = " +       \<A"

Another problem comes into play when using the '=' character. VFP uses '=' to indicate the value is to be evaluated, so you need to use:

Caption = " " + chr(61) + "      \<E"
