Harry, would you send me your KBD file again (to my address)? I just tried
to replicate this under W95 and couldn't force a crash. If fact, it
resolutely *responded* to the CMline query "va/nv _{func-assigned-to-104}",
and displayed the INF file funclist as well. It seems pretty
clear that something in the KBD file triggers in Windows a need to
pull the plug on XyWrite -- my guess is that it lies in the CTRL, ALT, etc
nomenclature, that these are reserved words as far as the OS is concerned.
Originally I figured maybe Grey-Enter was a low-level keystroke, like
Ctrl-Alt-Del or Ctrl-Esc, intercepted by the system no matter what you're
doing, and to which the OS didn't want you to assign anything other than
 -- but on my W95 machine, I can assign anything to 104 and nothing
untoward happens.
