Thanks for your reply. I apologize for the delay in responding to
you, I've been a bit busy unexpectedly moving to a new laptop and
seem to have lost outbound email as part of the process.

It behaves differently on the two laptops. On the old one, if I have
a hotkey set to require Alt+F9 and don't release the Alt key promptly
after depressing F9, I get a gong sound (error beep) 1-2 seconds
after releasing F9. The hotkey is activated when I release the Alt
key. On the new laptop, I don't get a gong but the rest behaves the
same.
The Setup dialog has an option that says "Always wait for ctrl, alt".
The way it is worded makes me wonder if it's hinting that when the
check isn't selected, some commands are still going to wait for Alt
to be raised. (I have noticed that the *Message command is processed
right away while the *keys command is processed later).
The gong isn't a major problem, the delayed activation until the Alt
key is released is annoying. Can the hotkey be executed before then?

In the Edit hot key/mouse action dialog, Alt is checked, F12 is
chosen for Key/Mouse. The window title field is empty. The command is
*Keys with keys to send being . There's nothing in the more commands
field.
I've also noticed in the group archive that there are supposed to be
a number of plugins that provide alternate ways to send keys. Is
there a recommended plugin? I see that the win plugin and sendkeys
were discussed at some length recently but I haven't found it. Where
would I find them?
Thanks
