Hello Mark, 'tis a nice day today. 

 ML> methinks that part of the misunderstanding in this thread is that
 ML> ALT-space, ALT-ENTER and such are windows command keys... not offline
 ML> reader or editor keys...

        I do think that you have hammered the nail square on. I will not
 use these keys anymore and all will be fine, until I get the urge
 again.

 ML> for example, in win98, ALT-ENTER switches DOS tasks between fullscreen
 ML> and windowed...

        This is what takes place here but the return command is the one
        giving me problem.

 ML> another problem you may be facing with winXPP is that there are two
 ML> command interpreters... command and cmd... one is "better" than the
 ML> other

        I will not get into this one at all. But thanks for mentioning
 it to me. I have RUNed both, saw a difference too but never knew why.
