sorry for causing frustration.  the reference you're seeing to
"_AFTER_GETKEY_ and _BEFORE_GETKEY_" is a typo on my part.  i copied the
help text from the TSE 2.6 documentation and doctored it to match TSE
2.5, but i missed removing that reference.
regarding your example, i don't understand what you want F3, F4, and F5
to do.
