Actually, I think it is the quirk part. The keyboard isn't symmetrical
the tilde is to the left of the space bar - the Ins and Del keys are
on the other side of the space bar - Win key up in the right - in
other words, a mishmash. If I could reassign those keys and move the
key caps around..... Is that actually possible?  Maybe easier than
trying to change the various programs...  Looks to me like it was
change for change's sake or some new bright light at Toshiba trying to
make his/her mark...

A big bonus of the new machine is that TheBat! now longer slows down
and I can run both the Flying Bat as well as the ticker. So, what's a
keyboard? If it gets to be too much of a pain, I'll just plug an
external one in and be done with it.

Thanks very much for your help.
