Bill,

Why don't you use an intellisense macro like:

type=U
abbrev=wtf
cmd={stmthandler}
data=
with thisform
   <<lcSpace>>~
<<lcSpace>>endwith

>The following On Key Label is executed on startup in development mode:
>
>ON KEY LABEL F5 KEYBOARD 'WITH THISFORM' && Used to insert this in editor.
>
>The problem is when an error occurs in testing a form, a VFP messagebox comes up with several buttons ie Cancel, Suspend, Ignore, and Help. If I "Suspend", and after exiting the Debugger, the On Key Label command above becomes: 'TH THISFORM' (dropping first two characters). It
>is consistent with all active On Key Label commands that the first two characters of the command are dropped and cannot be corrected until a quit and restart. This behavior doen't occur with the "Cancel" button.
