Hi everyone and a Happy New Year to you all!

I've been having a few weird problems with my TT - my keyboard shortcuts on 
the desktop gets trashed as soon as I use an application...

What happens is this: 

I have defined shortcuts and have saved the NEWDESK.INF file. The line 
containing the sh/c's looks like this:

#K XX YY NN NN NN..... where NN, XX and YY are hexcodes for the characters 
used. I've marked out the two first codes as XX and YY because when I 
execute a programme and returns, my codes are trashed. The first one is OK, 
but the second one is altered and the rest are either arrows or closebox/
fullbox characters. When I save the NEWDESK.INF file or look at the memory 
the line looks like this:

#K XX Y#K XX YY NN NN NN NN NN .....

It simply adds the header + the first one and a half code to the existing 
string for no apparent reason. I have to re-edit my .INF file everytime I 
add an icon and stuff like that and my sh/c's are useless. Have any of you 
experienced this?

I'm using a fairly new version of the TT (1.44 MB drive) w/ TOS 3.06. 2 MB 
ST RAM (My GE-SOFT 32MB card came back from Germany today - I'll test it 
later on). No additional software loaded except the AHDI 5.00 driver. 

Please reply if you've seen these things happen...
