- Thank you, William Bodiford. You write: "Did you also reconfigure directional
- keys in the HELP section of the keyboard table? ...in NB3 at least it is
- labeled: table=MENU+CTRL+SHIFT+ALT." This offers a ray of hope-- I'm not
- at home but at school, so I can't verify it, but I know that the first table
- listed in both NB.KBD and NBLINGUA.KBD has a comma after the "equals" sign:
- table=,MENU+CTRL+SHIFT+ALT. This is the table that governs the face or
- unshifted value of each key, presumably. But I remember being confused by
- the string headed by a comma. In NB2 the first table is designated Table=
- and nothing after it. What does this comma do? Where is the help menu table?
-
- Another possibility. Given NotaBene's reduplicative tendencies, isn't there
- an alternative way to invoke the language keyboards besides toggle switches in
- the control table? What about commands issued at the command line? Again,
- I'm away from my Lingua manual. Are there such commands? Do I have to rely
- on a ctrl key toggle switch to get the Greek keyboard?
-
- I would also like an answer, please, to my first question about redundant
- commands. I'm looking to clear up some spaces on my control table. CTRL P
- and CTRL M seem to duplicate the CTRL Gray + key. Is this true? And what about
- CTRL Z? As far as I can tell, it doesn't do anything. It's description is
- ov,r,l.

- Many thanks, Sarah Higley
