That was a good suggestion, and in fact is equivalent to what the checkbox
does and avoids the issue with Ctrl-X.  If you have the patched version,
check the checkbox and execute the RCL command "KEYMAP CHANGED COMMANDS" to
see your suggested commands magically appear in the display.  I generally
avoid suggesting using a programming solution to a problem, but for the
audience in this newsgroup, I think your solution was better than mine.
