The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a 
 - Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 1.0, 1.01, 1.02, 2.0, 2.5, 2.5a

SUMMARY
=======

To assign an expression to a function key in the CONFIG.FPW (FoxPro for
Windows), CONFIG.FX (FoxBASE+ for MS-DOS), or CONFIG.FP (FoxPro for MS-DOS)
file, specify F<num>=<char_str>.

MORE INFORMATION
================

For example, to assign the character string 'SET SYSMENU TO DEFAULT' to the F2
key, use the following statement in the CONFIG.FPW file:

   F2='SET SYSMENU TO DEFAULT;'

FoxPro translates a semicolon (;) in the expression as a carriage return. When
the F2 key is pressed, the command SET SYSMENU TO DEFAULT is executed.

To clear function key definitions, use the CLEAR MACROS command.
