take you up on the offer.

It's dead easy to install and use. And I'd be glad to give you help, including portions of my script.
Yes, I'll try it as well as messing with the XyWrite keyboard file. (I took a look at the website and it certainly looks useful.) Martin On 1/16/2011 3:34 PM, Harry Binswanger wrote:
Okay, understood. I again recommend Autohotkey, especially for using a laptop keyboard.

When I'm using the Mac laptop's keyboard, I hit ctrl-shift-m and it's all configured. When I have my external keyboard, I hit it again and it toggles back to normal. www.autohotkey.com http://www.autohotkey.com/ http://www.autohotkey.com/
