Coming back to it, I'm not sure if you meant "I'm able to
use the Tab as a shift key" or "I'm able to confirm the
doubt .. " I read it as the latter, perhaps wrongly.

I'm just following Signature's "Making the Transition"
document. In there, for just one instance, it says "the PT

Signature and 4 coincide.)

The instability started while I was introducing, bit by bit,
the features of my 3.55 kbd file. Still, you may be right.
Where there's problems, it's nice to go in armed ..

In passing, after a very short trial, your suggestion of
replacing

 ;15=

with:

 15=ni

is proving positive.
