Rather than the new checkbox(es), why not just issue a few commands to
remap the keyboard to the functions you want? I did this back on version
4.01 and it's still working in 5.21 (we haven't upgraded to 7.0 yet, so I
can't say for sure it will work there, but I don't see why it shouldn't).

Here's what to do:

o  Press Alt+Y to open a Reflection command window.
o  Copy and paste the following into the command window:

;-- Commands to remap keyboard to use standard Windows keys
KEYMAP Ctrl+O TO FileOpen
KEYMAP Ctrl+P TO FilePrint
KEYMAP Ctrl+A TO EditSelectAll
KEYMAP Ctrl+C TO EditCopy
KEYMAP Ctrl+V TO EditPaste
;-- end

o  If you have Immediate 'Off,' click Run. Otherwise, there's no need
(though it won't hurt if you do it anyway).
o  Close the command window (save the commands in a file if you think you
might want to run them again).
o  Verify that it worked by opening a new command window (Alt+Y) and
typing "KEYMAP COMMANDS CHANGED" in the window. Also, if you click on the
File and Edit menus you will see the new keyboard equivalents are now next
to the commands. Close the command window when done.
o  Finally, and this is important, *save the settings file* so these
changes will be there every time you open it!

I'm surprised WRQ didn't suggest this method, it's really easy.

HTH,
Patrick
