I can't reproduce your problem.  I don't have the Date FKEY, but I tried
it with the Screen Dump FKEY that exists on the system (Cmd-Shift-4),
as well as the eject FKEYs (Cmd-Shift-1 & 2).  I tried it in SFPutFile
(in MacWrite) and KeyCaps (which is not a dialog).  I'd appreciate it
if anyone who experiences this could give me more details as to the
environment, such as what machine you are running on, what version of
the system you are using (from About Finder...), as well as what DAs,
INITs, cdevs, and FKEYs you are running.  Also, what debugger (if any)
you are using.  Also, to make my life much easier, try setting up a
floppy with only Apple software and see if it happens there as well.
I suspect that some PD INIT or cdev is doing this, but you never really
know.
