I recommend these two references:

http://www.temporaldoorway.com/programming/cbuilder/advancedissue/oddkeys.htm

http://216.101.185.148/scripts/isapi.dll/article?id=4A853A91&article=1172660

As others have noted, you also need the online help for
KeyPreview  and
TButton::Default

All this is not entirely Borland's fault;  Your problems are common 
when porting legacy DOS applications to anyone's Windows development 
framework.  If at all possible, consider a more Windows-oriented 
interface, if time and budget permit.
