When you added your hotspots, you gave them a numerical identifier, so test that:

DO CASE
*test for 'OK'
CASE THIS.KeyPadQueryHotSpot(0) > 0

*test for 'Clear'
CASE THIS.KeyPadQueryHotSpot(1) > 0


>2° when the code is executed the pendown methode seems de-activated. Do you know what is going on ?

Are you looking at this in the debugger? Stop that, if so. Otherwise can you rephrase the question?
