problem with mapkeys in WF3

Here is the problem. Make 4 map keys, save map keys to config.pro. When I start pro-e only the last mapkey in the list (inside the config.pro) works. When I look at the menu to create a new mapkey only one shows up even though ther are multiple mapkeys defined in the config.pro. I also have a WF2 installation that seems to work fine when trying the same operation. How do you get multiple map keys to work in WF3. Thanks for any help.
 
I do not have any problem with that. How did you add to config.pro.


Did you use same config.pro in Wf3 and wf2?
 
Yes, an an experiment i tried my WF2 config.pro that works as it should in WF2. Does mapkeys do not work in WF3.
 
Think I figured it out. I am also running a config.sup file. It turns out that having any mapkey entries in the .sup file is not a good thing. The system only reads in the last mapkey entry and locks out any mapkeys that may try to load from a user config.pro file. When I deleted all the mapkeys from the .sup file all the mapkeys called by the .pro file now work. I did not have a .sup file in my WF2 installation.
 
That was going to be my suggestion. The config.sup blocks all duplicate instances of config options, so it's not good for options that have legit multiple instances like mapkey or search_path.
