  One way to do the first question,
    Use Key_others trigger at the form level. Use NULL; to trap all keyboard actions.

    then use whichever key_??? trigger you want to define, and add the built in function to that trigger.

   Ex..

      to make the F4 key the commit key,    Key_others trigger code

      null;

  key_F4 trigger code
    commit_form;

as to the second part of your question

   I believe the Text_IO package will help, never used it, just remeber something about it during forms 4.5 school.

Hope this helps
