	I think the <alt><cmd>* is very nice, fits the NeXT UI better, and
	does not have you accidentally switching your system from thin to thick
	wire while you grope around behind your overwired system box.
	(as is the case with DEC systems).

	I have yet to see <alt><cmd>* not reset the machine, unless the
	keyboard cable has been cut ;-).
