Thay explain all my troubles. It's clear now.

Ok with that

It's simple: on fMain, the F1 key open a contextual help for the user based
on wich control has the Focus.
This event is propagated to all forms opened from fMain Menu and works fine
(you give me the clue about how this can be done a few months ago). But I
haven't noticed that it isn't propagated in Modal opened forms, so I didn't
know if that were a 3.6 issue or a expected behaviour. Your answer makes
all clear.
Thanks Benoit.
