Is the CHUI or GUI - are you working with a terminal emulation?

I don't work with Putty - here we work with a commerical product called attachmate refelection. Anyways, in the terminal emulation I need to set the terminal type ( usually I use XTERM ) and I need to define the keyboard mappings for some of the F keys as they are by default used by the terminal emulation ( for example F3 pops up the search window if not mapped ). I am guessing that that is your issue.

Whenever you post code - please wrap it in CODE tags, it makes it much more easy to read.

Heavy Regards, RealHeavyDude.

As RHD posted, one thing to try for PuTTY is to set the keyboard function key setting to "Xterm R6".

However, I am not sure if you can do something like "ON F3 OF MENU m_mainMenu" for menus like you can for other widgets. You can set F3 as an accelerator key but I do not think this is what you are looking for:

Menu-ITEM Menu-exit LABEL " E&XIT " ACCELERATOR "F3"

Sir RHD, Can you teach me how to define keyboard mappings for F keys?

 

[RealHeavyDude]

I am not familiar with putty. Somebody else might know.
