untested code

--An event function to handle various keystrokes and menu clicks:
function onChar_MainAppWindow(atom ID,atom hWnd,atom uMsg, atom char, atom
lParam)
  if uMsg=WM_KEYDOWN then
    --trap control keys like arrow keys, home, end, etc.
    if char =114 then--F3
      return 0
      --do nothing
    elsif char =27 --esc
       QuitApp()
    end if
  end if
 return 0
end function
