At least with version 2.0 and probally version 2.1 you can have at most 16
keys or key ranges alerted.  A key range is basiclly a range of keys like F1 to
F10.  The alert is used so that in the code you can automaticlly check to see if
a certain key was pressed.  If I remember correctly ( I ought to but I probably
don't, I spent over 2 years working with clarion! ) you can also
check for more than 16 keys or key ranges.

This should be a key.  You have them mixed up.
