Is there a way of eliminating the cmd screen when running? I have used:
cmd help.chm
cmd(false,"help.chm")
Function doesn't work when true?
Function key F1 works without the cmd screen.
Is there an ascii number you can use for the F1 key? I have tried several like this..
keyboard chr(xxx) but none worked.
Thanks for any help.
