All experts, I have a program that I want to run on my bridgeboard, the only program actually, so my problem may just be my setup. The program wont run because the first thing it wants me to do is enter "Alt + Esc" to acknowledge a change. If I use Right Alt I end up in the Setup Screen, Left Alt + Esc does not appear to be recognized. Is ther any way to edit the Keymap (or something) to let me make this work. The program has worked otherwise but has always had this problem. I could bypass it previously because of the way the program works, now however it is the first thing it needs!! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Regards Leonard Bruce Abbey Registered and Flying Autopilot Regards Leonard

Leonard, Do you have any commodities, etc., assigned to keys on the Amiga side? These will override the commands on the Bridgeboard side. For instance, I had Shift-F1 assigned to my Amiga screenblanker, and it overrode the Setup for WordPerfect, which also uses Shift-F1. I would press Shift-F1 and nothing would happen on the PC screen. The screenblanker window would pop up on the Amiga screen, but I wouldn't know it was there, because I was looking at the PC screen. Also, you might be having a keyboard problem that happens occasionally for no particular reason that I know of. You press the Alt key (or the Shift or Ctrl keys) and it stays "pressed", so you get conflicts. For example, if the Ctrl key was "stuck" (not the key itself, but the effect), and you pressed Alt Esc, what you'd actually get is Ctrl Alt Esc. The solution is to press the offending key again–it releases it. Weird, huh? Marion Deland CROSSINGS – Newsletter for Amiga/PC/Mac compatibility
