In the Project Information Window, click on the Keys folder for Screen#1. This displays
the Function Key work area:

We want the screen change to occur when the function key is pressed. Therefore,
under the Tasks section (located to the right), click on the Press Tasks radio button.

We will use the F1 function key, so make sure that the F1 key is highlighted (in white). If
not, click on it to highlight it.

Screen #2 will appear.
