Thinking about it some more, I always have a menu available with the 2 help bars: _mst_hpsch and _mst_help so maybe that's why F1 works by default, but then again, maybe it just works by default. I have my screens and controls set (HelpContextID) to bring up specific places in the help file (CHM) so that the help is context sensitive. If you're not using the built in help functionality I guess you need to handle the F1 key some other way. It's amazing how much we forget if we don't do this stuff regularly.

I thought set help on and set help to <file name> automatically make the F1 key work without having to use on key label. At least I have never had to set on key label f1 to get my help to work in my applications.
I never used the integrated help like that. My F1 key simply called the routine to launch the appropriate help document (PDF) via ShellExecute.
