The alt key I converted to U2 Helpkey still seems to be
working fine in combinations. Alt+V still gives me the View
drop-down box in both Windows-type programs and XyDos, Alt+F
still gives me the File dropdown, Alt+tab still toggles
between programs. But all by itself, alt is a U2 Help key.

But I am saving the rest of your message to test out
