EM> What is the GRAY key and the above setup?.
 The grey keys (you have to spell it the E way in the CONFIG.DAT
 file) are the keys on the numeric keypad on the right end of a
 keyboard, by the arrows that act as numbers when NumLock is on.
 The above setup defines some of those keys to do particular
 things.  One of the points of using TSE (Jr. or Pro) is that you
 can make various keys do whatever you want, not have to learn
 commands that someone *else* thought natural.  Stuff like:
      * inverts letter pair (start on first; ends on second)
^Del  MacroBegin SaveSettings SetScreenOff SetInsMode
      DupLine CursorRight DelCh ShiftRight GetPrev
      ShiftLeft CursorUp DelLine CursorLeft RestoreSettings
      * jump to end of TEXT, not end of FILE
^End         MacroBegin SetScreenOff EndFile
      Begin: isEmptyLine jTrue NEXT jFalse LAST
       Next: CursorUp jTrue BEGIN
       Last: EndLine
 The particular issue being handled in the question could have
 been handled in different ways.  For example, I used these
Grey+      MacroBegin Copy MacroQuitTrue "+"
Grey-      MacroBegin Cut MacroQuitTrue "-"
 constructs in TSE Jr, and similar forms in TSE Pro
    if not isBlockInCurrFile() InsertText("+") else Copy() endif
    if not isBlockInCurrFile() InsertText("-") else Cut() endif
 to test whether there's a block and act accordingly.  I also
 generically test the NumPad keys, and act on a combination of
 shift/NumLock, to get either/or results, as in:
   if GetKeyFlags() & _num_lock_depressed_ Down()
                     else InsertText("2") endif
