I should find out how he managed by Wednesday.   If not, I'll probably
offer to take a personal look at the computer to get the information I 
really need.  The fellow was basically supplied with a "computer to
use" and apparently has no real training on how to use it.  He's not
familiar with all the computer jargon either.   I've been visiting some
MacUser forums with the same original question; so far no takers - most
people probably think that I must be a total idiot behind a Mac keyboard if
I have a "problem with the e key".

(Update.. I got one reply in the "apple-l" Yahoo group).

As for the echos..  I dunno.   I think you could possibly attract people if
you put some "plugs" or signature-links in some of the mac-user
internet forums out there pointing to web-based Fido bbses that carry the
APPLE echo.
