[comp.sys.amiga] "credits demo"

 I tried to remember the way to get the credits demo and my memory seems
 to have failed me. I am forwarding a request from a colleague.

We will both be grateful for any help offered. My only suspicion is that
one must press the keys in a particular sequence.

Thank you,

The correct key sequence is both shift keys, both ALT keys, and a PF key.  You
get a different message with each PF key.  Also, while holding down all five
keys, try ejecting a disk (it helps to have three hands :-) ).  You will get
yet another message when you re-insert the disk (still holding down the five
keys) but this message appears for a very short period of time, so it is hard
to read.  Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, this only works if Workbench is loaded
and the Workbench screen is activated (by clicking on the background, for 
instance).

This is my first reply to a note on the net, so I hope I did it correctly.

Enjoy!
