  >Dear Friends,
  >I am still having a great deal of difficulty using XyWrite 3+ under
  >Windows 95. My problem is that the keyboard seems to change state,

  >A lot of the problem seems to be centered on use of the cursor-arrow

  >cursor one space to the left. But sometimes it moves the cursor to the
  >left end of the line, which function I have programmed into my keyboard

  >left, which function I have programmed into the keyboard file as left arrow>. Usually, pressing both the CTRL and ALT keys clears the
  >problem, but not always, and a few times I have ended up losing data.
  >I put up some questions about this some weeks ago, and someone suggested
  >that they had heard of a work-around. But I have not been able to fin

  >I have placed "NI" (as in "No Interrupt") in front of the key command of

  Try this, as recommended by Herb Tyson: rename your keyboard tables so
that ALT becomes ALTT (or whatever), CTRL becomes KTRL and SHIFT becomes
SHIFF.
