Mr. Eller, 

Thanks for the info. Perhaps Ctrl-. is the syntax in the Mac world for 
showing 2 keys pressed simultaneously? If yes, I didn't recognize this 
because the Windows standard syntax for pressing 2 key simultaneous is the 
plus symbol. e.g. pressing the control key and c key simultaneously is 
Ctrl+c
Ctrl(period) does indeed work the same as Ctrlc. As a Windoze user, I would 
never have thought to try such a combination.
