I've just noticed a strange looking "icon" in the upper right corner
of our Macs (two Pluses and a II).  It is located just to the right of
the small icon indicating the present application running under Multifinder.
It looks like a square "U." Successive hits on the shift key makes
it appear.  Another shift causes a downward-pointing arrow to appear.
It sometimes appears with the "U" filled in.  I thought it might be an
undoccumented feature of MS Word, but it happens in VersaTerm also.
Any clues?

Thanks in advance,
