What MacOS are you using?

<OA-tab> is the back tab in AW.  But the MacOS wants to grab the <OA-tab>
and Deja][ never sees it.  For OS8 (and probably 7 & 9) I think there is a
finder script to change/disable this key combo.  Look in MacOS Finder Help
for back tab info.  I changed my MacOS so long ago I can't remember what I
did, but it worked.  <OA-tab> does indeed back tab in Deja][.

With KEGS on HPUX there are several options.  KEGS allows several keys to
indicate OA and SA, but I find most awkward.  I use <ctrl-alt-tab> for
back tab IIRC,  there are some other <alt- > keys I need to hold the ctrl
key down too.  The better solution (which I haven't tried> is to change
the keyboard to a style with "windows" keys next to the left and right alt
keys.  These "windows" keys are supposed to emulate OA and SA keys.  I
don't think such an option exits for MocOS/Deja][ :-(

Good luck!

My top wish for Deja][ is to find a way to "really" print to a network
printer.  Yes, Deja prints, but only 10cpi 80char lines regardless of
printer settings.  I want to access the IWEM (imagewriter emulator) in the
printer for appletalk printing.  This works slick for IIGS p8 programs and
when using an LC with the IIe card.  The Phoenix project includes source,
but I have no way to edit and recompile to hack a fix, nor any clue on how
to access IWEM.  Anyone interested in trying?

Good luck!  Deja][ "Appleworks Forever!"
