>F10 and Alt-F10 are specific exceptions, because they have standard Windows interface meaning, which overrides about anything you try to do in Visual FoxPro except an ON KEY LABEL. In any Windows application that "follows the rules", F10 means activate the File menu. (or at least activate the first menu pad.) Try it in an MS-Office app (Excel or Word).
