I'd like to set up function keys, F1, F2, etc so that with one click a 
command is executed. For example press F1 and you go to a URL.
Thanks for any help.

Set 
KeyPreview = true;
on the form and then You can examine the Key in the form keydown
event and act accordingly.

if(Key == VK_F1)
  ShellExecute......

Kind regards

Thank you for your response. I forgot to say that I use BCPPB 6.
Your suggetion works as long as the app is running. I want to run the app at 
start time and program the keys to stay even when the app exits.

I don't know how to do it, but this link will take You to
a search for keyboard hooks which, I think, is what You need.
