Hi!

Good tip.

We do it using another way. After using trick with command window opened by CTRL+F2 for some time ago, we stopped on the solution to use ON KEY LABEL and development environment startup program. Add to VFP running shortcut the command-line switch to use the developer environment config.fpw file. Then in the config.fpw file put line 'COMMAND=Do {path\}DevSetup.PRG'. In the DevSetup.PRG, after determining the user name, we define macros like following:

ON KEY LABEL CTRL+F5 ;
  KEYBOARD "{CTRL+HOME}{ENTER}** CHANGED BY " + cDevName +  " AT " + ;
           TTOC(datetime()) + "{ENTER}" + ;
           "** Change reason -- {ENTER}{UP}{CTRL+END}"

I'm not sure about the key names in the KEYBOARD command, but looks like that. And it works, for example, when you have a system allowing to edit reports in run-time and you modify code inside of the data environment of the report - in such case (You're in run-time) you will not have command window. There may be other situations of code editing when command window not available...
