Bookmarks were introduced in 7. I had some code where I tried to use F2 to stuff a predefined string into an editbox, and it wouldn't work - switched to F4 and it worked. It's actually easy to test: in the keypress, just add

case nKeyCode<0
   wait "nKeyCode="+tran(nKeyCode) wind nowait

and you'll see which work and which don't.

Full VFP is the GUI, i.e. VFP.exe - to differ from runtime, which shouldn't have the bookmarks and where the F2 may be available. The thing where I used was just a programmer's tool (I was inserting comments in code in the editbox) and I didn't even try to build an .exe out of it, so I can't say if it would see F2 in an exe or not.
