Is there any special conditions forced upon an fkey routine that effects
the use of variables?

example
The following works fine
	Procedure fkey;
		begin
		moveto(100,100);
		drawstring('hello');
		end;

The following does nothing
	Procedure fkey;
	var stuff:str255;
		begin
		stuff:='hello';
		moveto(100,100);
		drawstring(stuff);
		end;

Any ideas....Oh by the way I'm using Turbo Pascal
