Puzzling lack of F8



Here's a puzzler: in Xy and only in Xy, F8 puts out nothing (it should put
out the MoVe function). It's not the keyboard: I have tried other kbds, and
F8 works as normal in non-Xy programs.
I, of course, ran IDKEY.PM, and F8 isn't recognized at all, but all the
other Function keys are.
Here's the real surprise: in Xy, Ctrl-F8 works normally! IDKEY recognizes
it, and it performs the MV function. Same for some but not all the other
modified states of F8. Ctrl, Alt, and Shift are all recognized by IDKEY.PM.
Table = Caps and Table = Meta (the numpad Enter key as a modifer) aren't
recognized (hitting them doesn't produce any response).

I've tried changing the context of 66, but no dice. Won't even put out "x".
Oh-oh, I just found that Meta-F5 isn't recongized either (but all the other states of F5 are!)

This all began when I went to XP. Just for kicks, here's my definitions stanza:
;    DEFINITIONS
keys=104
CTRLX=29,99
ALTX=56,98
META=104
SHIFT=42,54,n
KAPS=58,T:c
