   Not on mine... whoosh! it's gone!  :)  Oh well.   
      
   How about 'keystacking'?     
      
   --- gold_ref.txt ---   
   Any non-option characters on the commandline are stuffed into the   
   keyboard buffer. See the chapter on keyboard definition and the   
   KEYBSTACK keyword for more info.   
      
   Example: GOLDED @S A   
      
   Makes GoldED go to the area scanning menu , and select   
   scanning of  all areas.

   It's kind of a last resort thing.  It didn't work here.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
