Patricia,

Zo zees is beink zee zeekret mojo, eh?

I've been using the universalized HELP-key. It's been working but only
once before I start getting 'LOAD XYWWWEB.REG' errors. Weirdly, if I
just QUIT and bring it back up, it works again. Once.

Let me try your incantations and reassign the keys as you prescribed.

Xyestly,

Peter
