Tim, I'd done that, and forgot to mention it. Picked up the suggestion from
a SYSOP message to David Auerbach in Feb 93 that I'd saved in a KBD.TEC file.
The NI makes no difference.

NIs are sprinkled throughout a XyWrite KBD file--always or nearly always on
the NumLock key, on alt-key combos, and elsewhere. As I understand it, adding
an NI has no effect on XyWrite operations. If a key ever acts up, I guess
it's worth
dropping in an NI to see if that helps.

Will try upgrading to fixpak 8 at David Auerbach's suggestion to see if
that takes care
of it.
