Tip: F1

[Chris Sheffield]

Richard,

Hope you don't mind me asking, but have you implemented this in a  
standalone yet?  I can't figure out how to make a function key work  
as a menu shortcut in Rev. I mean, I know I can trap the functionKey  
message and do what I need to there, but how can I get F1 to actually  
display in my menu like it does in other Windows apps?
