I saw a comment from someone else in this thread (can't remember 
who, now) - that gave a clue.  I experimented some with my 
existing SyncTerm (version 1.1b BTW), and found this:  It only 
seems to work when the video output mode (in Program Settings) is 
set to SDL.  When I put mine into X11 mode, the Alt-Enter function 
no longer worked at all.  Definitely works fine in SDL mode, which 
is what I normally run it in.  Not sure of the technical reasons 
for this, but it's what I'm seeing here.
