Thanks Sergey for your idea but it's no go. I ended up with the same results.

Is there a was to pause the KEYBOARD (in FPD25) before the kb buffer is stuffed then may be we can allow the procedures to complete and by that time the key board is stuffed and ready to fire.

>Just an idea, maybe you can attach ACTIVATE POPUP .... to the ON KEY LABEL and trigger it with KEYBOARD command.
