MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Open the Debug window. In the left partition of the Debug window, type

   "LASTKEY()" (without the quotation marks), then press ENTER. Note that
   the value 13 (for the ENTER key) displays in the right partition.

2. In the Command window, type "WAIT WINDOW" (without the quotation

   marks).

3. Click the mouse button to clear the WAIT WINDOW.

Note that the value listed for LASTKEY() in the Debug window is still 13.
