Just what I was looking for. the EXEC_XTRN was something I was looking for and
now it all makes sense. Thanks again...
Just so I understand, this should be the way I'll do it...
cmdkey L
exec_xtrn "FNLSCAN"
end_cmd
From what I read in the CommandKeyConstants, should there be any args:??
ALso, in compiling, I'd just do: baja default.scr Correct?? (naturally, I
make a backup of the original default.scr/bin files before I go nuts... :)

Addendum.... I made the changes you said and it works perfectly... that was too
damn easy.. lol!!
Thanks again..
Bill
