- Thanks to Sam Liddicott (phudl@csv.warwick.ac.uk), I have regained
- my sanity.
-
- Before I made my own user-key assignments, I noticed that RCLKEYS
- returned { S }. I thought this was wrong, because I hadn't made any
- user-key assignments, so I "fixed" it by doing 'S' DELKEYS.
-
- I didn't notice the behavior in my earlier post until later, so I
- didn't connect the two.
-
- Aparrently, you need an 'S' in your user-key definitions to give the
- user-keyboard keys their default functions when in 1USR/USER mode.
- Because I had -61 clear ("USR twice to lock"), the second time
- I hit "left alpha" was actually "left user-alpha", because the
- second time, the keyboard was already in 1USR mode (because the 'S'
- was missing from my user-keys definition).
-
- In summary, if you define your own user-keys, and still want
- to be able to go into USER-lock, make sure you leave an 'S' in
- the keys definition.
