Yep, My option key on my Extended Keyboard on my Mac II running 4.2/6.0 has been stuck down before. And to top it off, I have had my Caps Lock light get stuck on, when the button is still up! It must be a bug in the ADB driver. To Apple: How does one light the Num Lock or Scroll Lock keys from a program?? IM vol V has no info on this subject and I don't feel like dissassembling the ADB driver to see how the Caps Lock light works, and then guesstimate the method for the others. I am sure that the development community would like a tech note on this, as many people are now diddling with emulation of YOU-KNOW- WHO machines and UNIX stuff, where these lights may be useful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Alexander M.
