Hello Andy,

   I don't know where you got registerHotkey() from?
 I don't see it ihn any of the Euphoria docs.

   I do know I that use 
Euphoria for all my program writing and AutoHotkey (another program (free)) for
all my hotkey strokes. I seem to work well with Euphoria. You don't have to write
any programs in it (you can, a scripting language) just the keystrokes. Google it
it's free and simple.
