QuicKeys, "All Applications (except excluded)"

I'm using QuicKeys X2 on my G4/867, but have encountered a problem.

In the QuicKeys Editor window you can see the option "All Applications
(except excluded) in the scope part of the window, to the left.

How do I select these excluded applications? Right now, I want to
exclude VirtualPC {all versions} and Remote Desktop Connections from
shortcut triggers using the keys F01-F15 - and for obvious reasons.

If you have a shortcut for F01, for instance, find it on the right-side
panel, while viewing all operable shortcuts.  Select it, edit it, add
an application to be excluded to the scope of that specific hotkey.

That's as close as I can recall.  I upgraded to vX3 yesterday...

No problems here.

But where? I only see where to INclude applacations.

I'll probably do the same too. Very soon.

Actually if you write email to them directly it is *stunning* how
quickly they respond.

From the v3x manual (hopefully it works the same):

So you will be excluding VPC from any macro that purports to cover "All
Applications" this way.

These other items, from the same source, may be of some use:

They indicate that "Excluded Applications" can be found under the
Window drop-down. I'm not sure it's there with v2.x.

And...

Hopefully this will be of use, at the very least, after you drop
another $29.95.... :-)
