Hi Carl,

I don't have a  assignment that includes func BT. The
unshifted F-11 is the Helpkey (wasn't that the standard recommendation
?); The func BT line quoted above was placed on the CTRL-F11 key
assignment. I'm guessing that the beep and error when this is used must
be because this designation of the  amounts to a Toggle key,
which is exclusive and does not like one to attempt to do anything
_else_ with the F-11 key once it has been so designated. As to the
final XC, I thought that was necessary, but this is extrapolating from
most of the other macros in my Kbd file, and they tend to be of ancient
vintage.
