General instability, little specific. Once, when starting
up, it wrote a whole series of characters at the top of the
file it had loaded while executing startup.int. It's
crashed more than once while doing banal things like opening
and saving files.
At startup, it regularly ignores a CI in startup.int.
Amongst
keyboard commands, it treats NF haphazardly, sometimes as
PD,
sometimes as NF.

I'll try that. They were all commented out.

Thanks for the offer.
As you were aware of problems, I wondered what they were.

I've spent a lot of time trying to eliminate from a heavily
customized 3.55 kbd file things which 4 might dislike but
there's still something in there causing trouble. (The
only source of documentation I have is the Signature
manual.) 

I asked in the hope that I don't have to switch shifting
keys - and relearn keystrokes which have become automatic.
(Any replacement is going to be miles away from the Tab
key.)
