In one of Right Brain Software's ads, it says something like:
Come see what sophistication lies beneath the Alternate Key.

Well, I thought I would try something.  I brought up the INFO
panel in PasteUp (v1.1 edit 7) and held down the Alternate
Key while clicking on various parts of the INFO panel with 
the mouse.  WOW!  To my amazement, the application dock had
shifted to the bottom of the screen.  More clicking prompted
every window on the screen to float around wildly.

I urge all owners of PasteUp to try this.  Let us know if all
versions have this cool "hidden feature".
