The QuicKeys upgrade is pretty good (just double-click, and it leaves all
you old keys intact), except that it doesn't change the two biggest design
flaws.  (Seems less hostile to VersaTerm 3.20.)
	Under MF, it thinks that DAs are actually in the last APPL you were
in.  This is stupid; a function key labeled "Save" should do something very
different in MockWrite and a terminal emulator talking to EMACS.
	And you *still* can't make an action without a key part of a
sequence.  This means that uninteresting parts of sequences have to get
finger-breaking key-combinations.  
	The Run-a-key-at-a-given-time or -at-a-given-interval or
-(APPL-dependent)-on-startup CDEV looks good; don't need it, so haven't
tried it.
