&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td valign="top" align="left" colspan="2"&gt;When editing your Function Keys via the &lt;em&gt;Workspace &amp;gt; Function Keys&lt;/em&gt; dialog, there&amp;#39;s a 56 character limit for the keyin. To overcome this limit you can do any of the following:&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Locate and open &lt;em&gt;funckey.mnu&lt;/em&gt; with any text editor and type away! No problem to exceed the dialog limits! &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Don&amp;#39;t use the entire word for the keyin. For example: &lt;em&gt;place bspline curve catmullrom&lt;/em&gt; can be shortened to &lt;em&gt;pl bs c c&lt;/em&gt; (Thanks to Bentley&amp;#39;s &lt;em&gt;Rudi Wells&lt;/em&gt; for sharing this tip.) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use the function key to run a macro that contains all the commands. (Thanks to &lt;em&gt;Dave Preston&lt;/em&gt; for sharing this tip.) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
