I have no idea what most people are using; you can use any key you
like. (We've never prescribed or even suggested any "standard" or
"default" key assignment -- pace, Jordan.) No reason 76 shouldn't
work (it works here), and certainly no reason it would stop working
under v114 -- that is to say, no reason related to v114 per se.
That's got to be a red herring;  and its underpinnings
haven't changed since v001.

Have you fiddled with your KBD file before or since installing v114?
If so, try re-CoPying the Helpkey assignment directly from
README.1ST (Installation, step A.3) and re-LOADing your KBD file.
You may have inadvertently deleted or added something along the way.

Has your hardware or OS environment changed? If so, you can always
try prefacing the key assignment with a func NI:

nn=NINOXHJM(,2,.,P,r,s,C,M,l,i,n,e,)

If the key assignment is in order, then something went awry when you
installed v114. Have you checked to see that U2 is actually loaded?
Command VA/NV $U2 - it should return the path to your U2 file. If
it doesn't, review the installation steps. You may have zigged when
you should have zagged.
