You mean `F' like the letter F (not F1 function key or something)?

Don't forget that the DPMI host (in this case, Win95) sees the keystroke 
*before* your program (who do you think makes happen the interrupt 
reflection from real to protected mode?).  So in principle, it could act 
on a keystroke instead of passing the interrupt to your app.  I just 
wouldn't expect it to do so for a key as simple as F...

Do you install a protected-mode handler, or a real-mode one (or both)?
