Thanks, Richard. It ended up not being sticky keys. It was the Modifier keys being locked. I had no idea what to do, but I accidentally pressed something which unlocked it. This has been a weird experience, because it was an iPhone setting. I say that because I tried using another external keyboard with the same results. Now, things seem to be working OK with the modifier keys being unlocked. Jim
