But in XyWrite, what? Since when has it become implicit that
everything useful should be accomplished from menus without further
knowledge? That's like saying, if you pet a cat, it purrs -- but a
frog? Or, if you can read the menus, you can change the keystroke --
but what if you can't read? XyWrite is changed by reprogramming it.
Can't reprogram? Fair enough: use Word. Can't read? Don't write.

Anyway, routine IDKEY in U2 gives you exactly that ability. Touch
the key you want, put the programming assignment there.
