SUMMARY: Mapping R2 under OpenWindows 3

I asked if anyone could enlighten me on why I could no longer use the R2 key
under OpenWindows 3. I had three replies in short order; one person had the
same problem, one told me what to do to fix it (but not what the substance of
the problem was!), and the other explained what was happening, but didn't know
how to fix it! Between them, therefore, we now understand, and many thanks to
both of them:

> OpenWindows.KeyboardCommand.Translate: <new key>
> Or disable it by using the following:
> OpenWindows.KeyboardCommand.Translate:
> Hope this helps

It does, Steve! It works a treat.

From: Ralph Finch <rfinch%water.ca.gov@uk.ac.essex.mailhost>
> If you hold down the R2 key it will display a window to select your

So now we know! I'm sure it's in the FM somewhere, probably under 'A' for
annoying unobvious changes!
Noel.
