SUMMARY
There is incorrect information for the function keys F2 to F9, in the "Keyboard differences between dBASE and Visual FoxPro" Help topic in Visual FoxPro 5.0.



MORE INFORMATION
The topic "Keyboard differences between dBASE and Visual FoxPro" in the Visual FoxPro Help file shows the following actions associated with the F2 through F9 function keys in the section titled "Visual FoxPro and dBASE Function Key Assignments":   F2   Set (displays the View window) F3  List F4  Dir(ectory) F5  Display Structure F6  Display Status F7  Display Memory F8  Display F9  Append This information is incorrect. The function keys F2 to F9 are ignored by default and do not perform the actions described in the Help topic. This functionality is provided by a Default.fky macro file, which is no longer provided. This functionality was removed because some of these keys are now used by the FoxPro Debugger, as shown in the list below:   F5         Resume F6        Step Over F7        Run to Cursor Shift+F7  Step Out F8        Step Into For more information about keyboard shortcuts in the Debugger, search for "Debugger Keyboard Shortcuts" in the Visual FoxPro Help file.

You can assign expressions to the functions keys F2 to F9, in the configuration file (Config.fpw) so that they perform the actions described in the Help topic.
