I would like to program one of my keys to carry out a specific group of
keystrokes. Preferably one of the F keys. Can someone tell me where to
start please

TIA
Steve

Locate the program file (.exe) or the program's shortcut icon. Right-click
the program file or shortcut, and then click Properties.
Click the Program tab for an MS-DOS program or the Shortcut tab for a
Windows program.
With the cursor in the Shortcut key box, select the keyboard key you want to
use in combination with CTRL+ALT. Shortcut keys automatically start with
CTRL+ALT. The Shortcut key box will display None until you select the key
and then the box will display Ctrl+Alt+the key you selected. You cannot use
the ESC, ENTER, TAB, SPACEBAR, PRINT SCREEN, SHIFT, or BACKSPACE keys.

Any advise is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
