Do you intend to say that when you change or disable the control strip hot
key, then you also see Cmd-Control-C opening things in Entourage? In other
words, can we conclude that this behavior is present for everyone unless
they have something that intercepts the keystrokes first? And that,
therefore, for script shortcuts or OneClick shortcuts, we should avoid
Cmd-Control combos?

Come to think of it, I have a few Cmd-Control combos that <do> work.
Cmd-Ctrl-F runs my "Open Folder" script for me, for instance. So maybe we
should say that we need to avoid any Cmd-Ctrl-key combos <for which Ctrl-key
combos are already defined>, since the Ctrl-key combo will always prevail.

This would cover my discovery that if I have a script assigned the Ctrl-N
shortcut (which works fine), then if I try to assign Cmd-Ctrl-N to another
script, it will not work; it will run the first script every time, whether
or not the Cmd key is pressed. That's a bug somewhere, but it appears to be
a system bug, not one in Entourage.
