Derek,
As Jess said _Screen does not have a KeyPress event. Actually it has no events whatsoever associated with it. Events occur as the result of some outside action and don't actually do anything while Methods perform a task. Because you can't add code to _Screen, it doesn't make sense to have events that do nothing.

A workaround would be to make _Screen invisible by adding SCREEN=OFF in your CONFIG.FPW or setting it explicitly very high in your code stack (_Screen.Visible = .F.). Then create a Top-level form to take the place of _Screen. You can add all the Event and Method code you want at this point.

HTH.
