Thinking about it some more, I always have a menu available with the 2

help bars: _mst_hpsch and _mst_help so maybe that's why F1 works by

default, but then again, maybe it just works by default. I have my

screens and controls set (HelpContextID) to bring up specific places in

the help file (CHM) so that the help is context sensitive. If you're not

using the built in help functionality I guess you need to handle the F1

key some other way. It's amazing how much we forget if we don't do this

stuff regularly.
