Support - WebTerm - changing the F1 key function for Internet Explorer

WebTerm Frequently Asked Questions

How do I countermand the Microsoft Windows Help pop up when pressing the F1 key within Internet Explorer?

To resolve the F1 key issue calling the Help within Internet Explorer type the following command in the default embedded window:

<script language="JavaScript" FOR="document" EVENT="onhelp()">
document.parentWindow.event.returnValue=0;
</script>
 

This event handler script is crucial to prevent Internet Explorer's Help
facility from interfering with the F1 key. The F1 key is important to many
host programs, and WebTerm continues to pass the keystroke through to the host, but without this script Internet Explorer will also bring up a Help
window which, in most cases, is undesired behavior.

This and the 'FOR/EVENT' handlers that follow are only useful when using 
Internet Explorer. Prior to version 4.5, Netscape browsers had hard errors
with these scripts. If you need to support the older Netscape browsers,
and don't care about Internet Explorer, you can remove these scripts.
