Whoops! I should have checked before posting my earlier message ... I now
find my keyboard can't handle shift-f-t either. I must just type too slowly
to have noticed it before. It's an unbranded one - the only identifying
words on it are "Made in Japan" on an otherwise blank grey label. It's got a
4-way green DIL switch on the back with diagrams showing how to set 6
different modes. Familiar?
