Thanks, I'll look at it.  I don't want windblows keys though, I want
something unique that can be reached with my right pinky with my right
thumb on the control key.  I'm usually eating hamburgers or reading
programming books, or typing on my other computer with my other hand
and it is annoying not being able to multitask as a human when
multitasking under TASKMGR.  :o)

Ooops, spilled a little relish there...
