Okay, I'll explain my thinking. Only two things can cause a program to act as if F7 is pressed when you are really pressing F6: The program in question (DROD TCB), or the keyboard.
If the program is at fault...

×I guess that, by some strange defiance of the system of checksums and CRC error correction, DROD got messed up, with damage localized to the part checking for input from the function keys.
A reinstall of DROD may be necessary to fix it. I'm not sure if Neather2 tried this yet.
If the keyboard is at fault... (this is what I was considering in my earlier post)

×This means there is a problem with either the keyboard or an intermediate program that processes the input from it. This could be a result of internal damage, but it is much more likely due to either
a) a faulty driver, or
b) something is reassigning the keys. Perhaps it is a keyboard that can reassign keys (not just hotkeys, but any key. Like change "
Q"
to "
A"
), or maybe some other intermediate key mapping program is faulty. The former is what I suspected in my earlier post, and the latter is akin to
this thought.
If this is the problem, the settings for the keyboard need to be looked at, or the driver for the keyboard needs to be reinstalled.
Yes, we've all been trying to figure out whether it's the program or the keyboard for quite a while. But the meaning of both our questions and his responses are getting lost in translation...
I think I just thought of a good test.
Neather2, try JtRH. Here is a yes/no question:
Does F6 bring up the Demo Screen in JtRH?
