But then again, I was using an Omnikey Ultra keyboard, which was pretty fancy for that day. It had DIP switches in the back that allowed you to configure the thing for a Dvorak layout, re-assign the capslock and shift keys, and a slew of other neat tricks. If you can even find them, they're now going for $200 and up, used, and cost only $70 when they were new. Anyway, it might only take some editing of a keyboard config to make F13 on accessible with the addition of the shift and control keys. Michael
