Hi Harry,

There're a few issues here.

1. The help for ON KEY LABEL command doesn't include combinations of ALT key with any of extended keys but they're accepted and work.

ON KEY LABEL ALT+LEFTARROW WAIT WIND NOWAIT LASTKEY()
ON KEY LABEL ALT+RIGHTARROW WAIT WIND NOWAIT LASTKEY()
ON KEY LABEL ALT+UPARROW WAIT WIND NOWAIT LASTKEY()
ON KEY LABEL ALT+DNARROW WAIT WIND NOWAIT LASTKEY()
ON KEY LABEL ALT+HOME WAIT WIND NOWAIT LASTKEY()
ON KEY LABEL ALT+END WAIT WIND NOWAIT LASTKEY()
ON KEY LABEL ALT+INS WAIT WIND NOWAIT LASTKEY()
ON KEY LABEL ALT+DEL WAIT WIND NOWAIT LASTKEY()
ON KEY LABEL ALT+PGDN WAIT WIND NOWAIT LASTKEY()
ON KEY LABEL ALT+PGUP WAIT WIND NOWAIT LASTKEY()

The question is, is it a help omission or undocumented/unsupported feature.

2. The help for DEFINE BAR KEY clause states that list of available keys and key combinations is provided in ON KEY LABEL topic so the same questiom applies to the above listed keys.

3. Depending on the answer on the above question, it's a bug in Menu designer that it accepts ALT+HOME and other key combinations from above or that it generates incorrect key label for it.
