This would be say F25, F26...

I have a need for a unique requirement like F1 or the HELP screen

All F-keys are used so I need another unique key.

Have you used "Clear"?

The AID keys are:

Enter
Clear
Help
PageUp (Roll Down)
PageDown (Roll Up)
Print
Record Backspace (Home when cursor is already in the home position)

The other thing you might be able to do is make some of your existing function key definitions sensitive to cursor position.
