Yoohoo! I just started trying out U2 five days ago, and only
learned after I posted that question that .inf is a plain
text file, "like a letter to your mother." I learned a long
time ago that if you don't know the nature of a file you
could lose it by using ST. The way out of Index  is
ABort. I figured I'd better ask.

Let me know when you are ready to ship the award and I'll
send you my address offlist. I'm really proud that I had the
guts to post enough dumb questions to a group like this to
get my U2 up and running. I didn't have the guts a year ago,
so an earlier U2 sat on my computer doing nothing. Now
*that* really deserves the "worst of year" award.

This is good to know.

Scan  gives me 26 for both [ and Fn+[ and it gives
me 538 for both { (shift+[) and Fn+{ (Fn+shft+[). Adding Fn
doesn't seem to make any difference. But then again, I've
commented out 104 in my .kbd.

Because I have two unshifted alt keys and one unshifted F10
that all do the same thing? Because it turns out that
reassigning a spare alt is not the way to go? Because I
hever use F10? Because I'm going for another award?

But enough. I have to leave things where they are right now
and go earn a living.

Thanks to all.
