It seems to me that that's a recipe for real trouble. I'd put it on any key, or
key combination, *except* one of the basic "shifting" keys defined in your KBD
file, e.g. CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, etc. XyWrite really doesn't want you to
assign anything to any of those keys in their pure form -- they are intended to
be used only in combination with other keys. Don't do it.
