Thanks Eric, I've not got a 250 or 450 but am hoping to lay my hands on a 4500
as soon as we can get a van up to the seller. Otherwise the only machines I've
got with keyswitches are 1000Es, and since those are like nothing else on Earth
I doubt your code would apply :-)
I'll be in touch once I've got the extra machine if it turns out to be a useful
hacker platform.
