I'm mystified.  isn't a toggle; it simply launches U2-
based programs. Moreover, if you assign  to F11, i.e.,

TABLE=
...
87=NOXHJM(,2,.,P,r,s,C,M,l,i,n,e,)

it should have no effect on Ctrl-F11, which should remain available
for any function you want to assign to it:

TABLE=CTRL,CTRL+CAPS
...
87=BT

That's certainly the case here.

I'm thinking the beep you're hearing has to do with that extraneous
func XC after BT. Remove the XC, and bye-bye beep. In fact, kill
the present Ctrl-F11 assignment in its entirety, and substitute

87=DXSWf,DO

and I think you'll be where you want to be. Or so I hope.
