        I wonder if they are referring to the infamous shift key mod. 
Some programs will recognise the use of button 2 to signify the shift key 
has or has not been pressed. The mod consists of running a wire from the 
keyboard connector near the front to the button 2 input in the game 
controller. As to which part of the keyboard connector, you'll have to 
check out your hardware reference manual. It is in the middle of a series 
of pins (if you choose the incorrect pin from going from the other 
direction you get the <Ctrl> key).

                                Later
