SUMMARY
A number of FoxPro functions use a function key as a hot, or shortcut, key; however, many Macintosh systems use keyboards that do not have function keys. To emulate function keys on these systems, you can use a CONTROL+COMMAND+ key combination.



MORE INFORMATION
The hot key to bring the Command window forward is COMMAND+F2. FoxPro for Macintosh treats the CTRL and COMMAND keys the same, allowing users that don't have function keys to mimic the COMMAND+ combination. To do this, hold both the CTRL and COMMAND keys down while pressing the number of the function key to activate. For example, the Command window hot key combination would be CTRL+COMMAND+2 instead of COMMAND+F2. To cycle through active windows, the key combination would be CTRL+COMMAND+1 instead of COMMAND+F1.
