- That solves the only real problem, then. Any programming language that
- can call the AES directly can support ST-Guide. After all, it is only
- a call to the appl_write() function.

- Well, my reasoning for this was that the proposal said the Control + UNDO
- was the opposite of UNDO (redo). I have no problem with Shift + TAB,
- though. After all, the key itself is only a minor consideration. I just
- wanted to know if it should be implemented.
-
- Oh, by the way, why do you convert the TAB key to anything at all?
- If you are using the form_keybd() function, it will convert the TAB
- for itself. Using that function also has the advantage that people
- who install Let'em'Fly can use the extended editing features even
- in programs that have windowed dialog boxes. (I found this out the
- hard way; for a few minutes I had thought I had programmed a complete
- cursor library complete with a history buffer without remembering
- it. <Grin!>)

- Ooops! Yes, I meant Shift + Control + G. Sorry about that...
