OK, I did a stupid thing while I being inundated with questions from a
co-worker. I had the tool information box slip under the Menus and
cover up my palettes, and I couldn't move the info box because the
titlebar was under the Menus. "I'll just turn off the menus", he
thinks.

Got the info box moved. Now can't turn the Menus back on because I
don't have a shortcut for "Customize" on any F-key, and I don't know
how to start the key-in browser without a menu.

I found the F-key file, funckey.mnu, but have no idea what the actual
command is to get either the "Customize" dialog or the "Key-in" dialog
to come up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Drew,

For keyin window: "dialog cmdbrowse"
For customize dlog: "mdl keyin customiz customiz dialog"
You may use any shorthand that the keyin window normally recognizes, such as
"di " for "dialog ".

In .mnu syntax, the key combo codes are:
3 = fkey alone
b = ctrl+fkey
7 = alt+fkey
13 = shift + fkey
f = ctrl+alt+fkey
1b = ctrl+shift+fkey
17 = alt+shift+fkey
1f = ctrl+alt+shift+fkey

and the fkey codes are:
1-9, 10, 11 & 12 are written as 01-09, 0a, 0b, 0c.

The line format is:
<key combo code><fkey code>,<command>
or string commands together with a ; separator:
<key combo code><fkey code>,<command>;<command>;<command>

So to call up the keyin window with alt+f10, your .mnu line will be:
70a,di cmdbrowse

The .mnu file begins with a $FK5.0$ date-time-stamp line & ends with a blank
line (i.e., the last char is a carraige-return).

HTH,
