I looked back about 1000 articles and didn't find this info anywhere.

I just installed BlackBox and enjoyed having all of its functionality.
The problems I found stemmed from having quickkeys installed.

The screen saver and (I think) the window flipping didn't work (while
quickkeys was at its normal location.  

I renamed quickkeys to load before black box and the screen saver and
flipper now work.  Also, I just learned (while typing this letter)
that the smart quotes don't work.  Here is an example of what happens:

RThis isnUt quoted.R

which is supposed to be:

"This isn't quoted."

So far, it has been working great, although I haven't put it through
its paces yet.  I would like to see compatibility with quick keys.  I
guess I can throw away dialogkeys now.  Also a "smarter" screen saver
and moveable dock would be great.

Incidently, someone was asking about where to get it.  It is on
sumex-aim.stanford.edu in /info-mac/init/black-box12.hqx
