Help... I'm working against time here, so forgive me if this is an elementary question. Is there a way for me to get key-equivalents in Hypertalk? I mean, other than "on functionKey," "on shiftKey," "on commandKey?" I'd like a keyboard equiv for something like "Ctrl-Shft-W" Something that can accommodate non-standard Mac keyboards (no function keys) and IBM keyboards (no command keys). Or does someone out there know of the standard key-equivs for function keys? Thanks, Pomona Valero Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213

I don't understand your question well enough to suggest anything beyond that at the moment. <-> Bruce Carter, Courseware Development Coordinator bcarter@claven.idbsu.edu Boise State University, Boise, ID 83725 duscarte@idbsu.bitnet (This message contains personal opinions only) (208)385-1250@phone

Hi again, Well, what I'm looking for is to get a key combination to execute some commands but the keys in this combo should be keys that are common to a standard mac keyboard, IBM-style keyboard and the extended mac keyboard. I'm afraid I'm still not familiar with XCMDs nor with XFCNs though... Thanks, Pomona Valero PS Yes, I'm still new to Hypertalk.
