OK -- soon.

You're talking about conflicts with hard-coded Windows Alt-key
commands, like Alt-H going to Help?

First of all, it doesn't make sense to use @SaveGets, period.
They just chew up memory. You're lugging them around in memory
all the time. The idea is to transform them into U2 frames.
It's a four-step process: extract them from the binary LDSGT
file that you have traditionally used; add them to U2; change
your KBD file; remove the LDSGT command from STARTUP.INT.

1) SAVMACROS. Do that right now, it's harmless -- if
you don't want to pursue this further, you just ABort the
resulting window... If you do want to pursue it, then SAve this
result file under some memorable filename.

2) ADD2U2. Execute this command with the result file
from 1) DeFined, top to bottom, in the current window.

3) CA$ KB. That CAlls your currently-loaded KBD file
into a window (alternatively you might use IDKEY).
Modifying your KBD file is the only (slightly) tricky part. The
simplest thing is to change the whole TABLE=ALT to something
else, e.g. TABLE=CTRL+LSHIFT. That means you have to change
your habits; but you have to change them anyway due to the
Windows conflict, so WTF. Then change all the assignments on
the new table, with e.g.
 cv |=@{Wild-A}|=JM2,.,S,G,{Wild-A},Q2|
The goal is to change "nn=@A" to "nn=JM2,.,S,G,A,Q2" and so
forth, A-Z and 0-9.

4) Kill the line in INT that loaded your @SGT library. It was a
great idea in Xy3, but completely outmoded in Xy4.
