Yep. The problem is that the mapkey recorded by WF5 also records a "which window number contains the
drawing". So with this scenario:

* Open a multisheet drawing (drw1)
* Open another multisheet drawing (drw2)
* activate drw1 window, select sheet2, now record a mapkey to switch to sheet 1
* save this mapkey
* activate drw2 window, select sheet2, now record a mapkey to switch to sheet 1
* save this mapkey

The mapkey text looks like this:
!Mapkey text for first drawing
mapkey .. ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `switcher_lay_buttons_lay_ph.page_0`1 ;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Trail `UI Desktop` `UI Desktop` `SmartTabs` `selectButton \
mapkey(continued) main_dlg_w1@switcher_lay_buttons_lay page_0 0`;

!Mapkey text for second drawing
mapkey .. ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `switcher_lay_buttons_lay_ph.page_0`1 ;\
mapkey(continued) ~ Trail `UI Desktop` `UI Desktop` `SmartTabs` `selectButton \
mapkey(continued) main_dlg_w2@switcher_lay_buttons_lay page_0 0`;


Note the difference in the last line. The first mapkey has "main_dlg_w1" and the second mapkey has
"main_dlg_w2". This makes it impossible to create a mapkey to switch sheets.

I ended up doing it with weblink.
