Steve,
Move the mouse while you have the three keys pressed. That will put an event in the queue that will wake VFP from it's fugue. There is also a line you should put in your config.fpw that will help, but I don't recall it off the top of my head right now, I'll have to look in my office config in the morning.
>I sat here, on two occasions in the last two days, and *held* the keys down. Probably for 5 minutes, trying various combinations. All involving CTRL, ALT, and ENTER. Do you suggest I change careers? :)
