Thanks Mark, Richmond & Jim for your answers,

My first try was with a combination of a modifier key and ?. But i'd  
like to use just one key for it. It is not for going to the general  
help, but only some objects do have this special help function, so  
the 'help key' has to work together with the mouse, meaning you move  
the mouse around and press the 'help key' and the question mark shows  
up, if your mouse is over an object that has this special help  
function. That's why I searched on.

F1 (as some other F keys), will not work completely, as it leaves a  
square or an arrow down (non printable char) in the field  if the  
focus is on a non locked field. That's why I had to abandon the 'h' key.

What about F6, which does not seem to put anything into a field? Is  
it used for something on mac or windows?
. Or does anyone else have another idea?

Thanks,

Beat
