The "hot" keys are which - the 8-10 extra keys around the periphery of the 
keyboard?

You cannot create a new definition of a key, then? For instance, on a fully 
programmable keyboard I used until recently, I programmed one of the extra 
keys to change focus to the befinning of the callsign field in the logging 
window by having that key "memorize" the several alt-key steps required to 
get there. If your keys can only substitute for other pre-defined keys, 
that won't work with this keyboard, right?

Could you program one of your extra keys to bring up the Writelog 
type-ahead keyboard (the alt-K function)? If you are free to "type in" such 
key strings as this instead of a program path, that gives this keyboard a 
lot more flexibility. This might let it do the focus shift I mentioned above.

I gave up my old fully programmable keyboard only because I set up 2 
computers to play with SO2R and felt that I needed two identical keyboards 
with this setup. There is a keyboard redefinition program out there 
somewhere but I haven't tried it yet.
