I guess I forgot to say _why_ you might wish to change the TABLE names.
The reason is, that ALT and CTRL and SHIFT are keyboard metaphors
recognized by the system. What you want to do is stonewall the system
completely: give it zero recognizable information, so that XyWrite's
keyboard controller retains complete control over your actions. This
keyboard problem may well be an FP6+ problem --I personally haven't
seen anything, but what do I know? Could be. But that has nothing to
do with Xy4DOS's keyboard controller, which is *capable* (IF you
let it) of bypassing the system entirely. Not so, XyWin, incidentally.
XyWin surrenders to Windows' keyboard services, and that is perhaps the
foremost reason why I simply detest it, and harbor little hope for
SmartWords (if it isn't vaporware altogether).
