Hi John,
2. In the midimon you should also see the program changes if sent. You haven't see them, so they are not sent. Transpose keys usually don't send midi messages, as this is a transpose of the (hardware) keyboard, resulting in other midinotes to be sent. So if you transpose+1, the 60=C4 will be sent/received as 61=C4# (or C#4 in samplerbox notation, inconsistency because of text parsing limitations).
3. I'm afraid you have to consult your keyboard's user manual or perform some wild experiments.
I took the F#2 info (mind the 2) from the Alesis Q88 MKII manual. It states that the key is labeled "Program", like the one you tried is labeled "Transpose".
Since you don't see the program changes in the midimon, my hint was incorrect - a shot in the dark. But I have just knowledge of the samplerbox plus the devices I own and yours is not in my collection, so I can only guess
Still I couldn't resist to peek in the "legacy" manual ("legacy" is commercial bullshit, it just means the model before MKII)
Perhaps this is your situation. But again, no crystal bowl here, I'm out of options.

Code:
There are two ways to send a program change message:
1. Increment/Decrement Program Change:
A. Press the ADVANCED button.
B. Press the DATA: PROGRAM key.
Now the Octave + and Octave - buttons can be used to change the program. Press the Octave + or Octave -
button and play the keys until you find the instrument that you want.
2. Quick Select Program Change:
A. Press the ADVANCED button.
B. Press the PROGRAM key.
Press the numeric keys to enter a program change number followed by the ENTER key. Alternatively, you
can use the Octave + and - buttons to change the value, and then press ENTER.
