Sorry about that.  I'll add that to my todo list.

If you go by what is left, the pickings are slim:




These would not be my first choice, since the alt keys are
typically for menus.



'h' always seems like Help.

All that leaves is function keys:


















Maybe better to hijack some of the non-Windows keystrokes
that I slipped into the win.ui file?

Since you're probably not a WordStar fan, you probably don't
use the  ScrollUp(), so that might make a good
WrapPara().

For UnmarkBlock(), you could use the old WordStar
 (think Hide Block).

For GotoColumn, you can always  - nahh, that is
way too hard to type.

Time?  And what to say?  -3 is easy to see, but hard to
explain!

I also don't remember documenting the -b-1 and -b-2 modes.
Well, I kind of imply they exist in the documentation for
BinaryMode().  If you read between the lines, ever so
carefully.

Can't wait!
