Phil,

Get a grip. I was talking about MODIFIER keys. We've had this topic 
come up before and it was acknowledged that the "Windows" key doesn't 
have the functionality as the Command key does on Macintosh. For 
instance it doesn't seem to be noted as a standardly used modifier in 
the Finale documentation.

What it boils down to is:

Mac has: Command, Shift, Option, and Control
M$ has:  Shift, Option, and Control.

Calculating a factorial of the "key with modifier(s)" I come up with:

Mac: !5 = 120
M$:  !4 = 24
