Haven't got enough keys on my keyboard for these, and I'm not sure I've got enough commands I'd want to bind to them, anyway.

By the way, what does `T' stand for? -- Alan Mackenzie (Munich, Germany) Email: aacm@muuc.dee; to decode, wherever there is a repeated letter (like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
