Hi Dan

As far as I know it does all of what I want a hotkey routine to do.

The "part" in my post referred to the fact that I also had to work out 
how to get the keystrokes without a DOS type window (now done) and how 
to launch a program.  It seems again (as with the keystrokes) that the 
standard EU "system" and "system_exec" are no use for my purpose because 
they wait for the job to complete which I don't want to do, I just want 
to launch the job. But again there is another call to Win32Lib or 
EUwinGUI that does this.

However I have some difficulty understanding the code in Ting's demo, 
simple though it is.  I tried to copy the relevant parts and leave out 
the need for his 4 button window.  What I wanted was when I launched my 
hotkeytoolbar to always set a fixed hotkey (say F12) that will make a 
program pop up.  But when I copied the parts of the demo that I thought 
were needed it didn't work.  If this persists I will post my code.

Thanks again Dan
