Hoping some can help with this one or point in the right direction, I have a win 3.1 machine running a dos based application, the application has a bunch of shortcuts mapped to the fuinction keys e.g. F1, F2, etc would these shortcuts be written hard into the application code or is there a file somwhere that these would be written, whats the standard method of defining shirtcut keys within an app? Ideally I'd like to delete/modify some of these shortcuts.
Thanks for reading, any help appreciated.

They'd usualy be compiled into the app. Look in the directory where the exe is. If you're lucky there may be a key definition file.
=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.M2

Is the application something like Lotus 1-2-3 or a CAD program with no menu bar? Just for the heck of it, you could let us know what the application title is...

Hi,
Thanks for the replies folks, I'll dig around further looking for any key def file, the app is an old propietry piece of software, we use it to control a printing machine (old printing machine), I think the software is GEM?? I'm not 100% sure, it's DOS based and has a bunch of shorcuts mapped to the function keys which causes us heartache. Any help again is appreciated.
Thanks.

If it's the GEM from days of yor (aka Digital Research GEM) then it's gained an entire new life in open-source:
