Modifier Startup Key detection

Hello All,

When you startup Omnis, with the ALT/OPTION key pressed, the startup folder libs do open, but the STARTUPTASK does not run.

Is there a way of trapping another key press by a user that we can trap and then decide what to do, but still runs the code as usual?  The very old Omnis 3 had a key combo that reset the Byte Range Record Locking on a multi user DF1 many moons ago, and this is the sort of thing I need now.

A key combo that if pressed, we could reset our system, etc.

Thanks

Mike Matthews
