ALt Break could be possible if I can get th keycode for it.

Vkeyboard would not be of use in a situation like that, as you could not
use Vkeyboard as the computer would is not responding to mouse clicks.

Somewhere there is a keyboard remapper, which allows you to give a
different key or combinations of keys to another key.

Thanks for the response Kevin. Of course, you are right. I should have thought >longer about the question.

I suppose, too, that as VRPC is also software that nothing run on the RISCOS >side would serve the purpose. I suppose it comes down to being a PC question - >that is the key remapping must be under the still functioning Windows software.

Are you sure it has crashed rather than simply taking a long time? Even on native hardware with VFP support some pdfs can take a while to display, so under an emulator you might need patience!

My laptop also has no Break key (amongst others) so I have Keymapper in
the boot sequence with the following Obey file to start it:
RMensure Keymapper 0.00 RMLoad <Obey$Dir>.Keymapper
| Map Menu to Menu
KeyMap 104 113
KeyMap 106 113
| Map Insert to Break
KeyMap 31 15
| Map Right-Ctrl to Left-Alt
KeyMap 97 94
