This looks fascinating---we can actually put stuff on the CTRL key while
still using it as a shift key!
But, I can't get it to work in my .kbd file. It works for assigning XH,AR
to other keys, but not to key 29.
There's something in XY4.KBD that's not in my customized .kbd file, because
using XY4.KBD works!
Another puzzler: I tried making one modification in XY4.KBD: putting w for
XY,AR. Then I, of course, SAved the modified XY4.KBD and did LDKBD. Result?
Tapping ctrl then doesn't put out a w,-- but it does still auto-expand!
That's with the XH,AR removed from the loaded XY4.KBD. Amazing!

So what is the secret of XY4.KBD???

For reference, here's my definitions section:
;    DEFIN
keys=104
ctrl=29,99
alt=56
meta=104
shift=42,54,n
caps=58,T:c
