oUCH! (Oops there goes that CAP-LOCK again.) The Alt-Left Shift
explains
some of the problems I've seen. My usual way to scroll back a screen
is
to hold down Alt-Left Shift and then press PgUp how many times I need.
I also have another problem. When the focus goes back to a K95
window,
it transmits the Gold or PF1 Key (Numlock on PC). Unfortunately many
years
ago we mapped that on the VAX to launch a program for all our users,
so I
have to wait for it to launch and then exit.
