Hi, >From what I know, the BN's keyboard driver (the guy which represents the keyboard and sends information to the operating system) recognizes "exit" routine when either SPACE with E or Z is pressed. This is apparently a compatibility thing with Blazie/FS products (well, not anymore...). Cheers, Joseph

But now when you, Joshua, mensioned it, you ignited my curiosity. Here's my hypothesis. Since z chord is used to exit the current menu or operation, perhaps it's confused because you want to exit the main menu and of course, you can't exit the main menu. Or can you? but, then again, if you do e chord, it will just beep and say "main menu. But, e chord is an obvious keystroke. Perhaps the BN considers z to be a half-chord.
