Thanks, Michelle!
I've never used a macro, so it never came to mind.
What I finally had to do was a combination of a macro and my prg, called from the DEV menu, which contained:

RESTORE MACROS FROM n:\test\gaming\pubvars.fky
KEYBOARD "{ALT+F12}"
KEYBOARD "{ENTER}"

It turns out that my 'Wild Turkey" was nearly too big for the macro editor, which seemed to limit out somewhere
around 1600 bytes. I had to really squeeze to avoid the "Key String too long" error.
Thanks,
Jerry
