SORRY!! Caught with my documentation incompletely read and understood.
You are exactly right <ALT>-0 thru <ALT>-9 are *apparently* the only
keyboard macros available in Procomm 2.3. With that in mind, let me
say that the IBM3101 Emulation Package allows much greater flexability.
The only keys *NOT* redefinable are the standard alphabetic and number
keys, the "NumLock", "CapsLock" and "ScrollLock". In addition,
almost all keys including alphas and numbers can be defined when used
in conjunction with the <ALT> and <CTL> keys.
This makes customizing a keyboard to actually mean something and
incorporate 40 PF keys very easy.
