Strange Alt key behavior

[Geoff Canyon]

What a coincidence. Check my post about the dictionary just a few hours
back. In short, edit the stack script of stack "revDictionary" to include
this to make the underlining happen only when it should:

*on* suspendStack

   stopAltKeyCheck

*end* suspendStack


*on* resumeStack

   startAltKeyCheck

*end* resumeStack


I haven't looked into the notes issue.
