EUDY:
OK, now I'm beginning to get it!
On my applications in which the ArrowKeys worked, focus was in an Enabled
EditBox.  Form1->KeyPreview was set to true.  When the application runs, the
ArrowKeys are "previewed" by the form and actually do something in the
FormKeyDown handler, but until you mentioned it I didn't notice that the
Cursor also moves around in the EditBox.  Since the EditBox is continually
being updated by the code I wrote, the Cursor is returned to a default
position in the EditBox every time the ArrowKeys are pressed.

REMY:
So going back to Remy's post, the Edit Control seems to pass a "hidden"
Windows Message turning the ArrowKeys "on."
I did look at FAQ78 and didn't understand it since it said NOT to write a
Windows Message for the Form.  So could you give me another hint?  Does this
mean that I need another control enabled (even if I don't use it directly)
just in order to turn the ArrowKeys "on?"

Thanks all for your patience...
Nick
