That solves the only real problem, then. Any programming language that
can call the AES directly can support ST-Guide. After all, it is only
a call to the appl_write() function.

Well, my reasoning for this was that the proposal said the Control + UNDO
was the opposite of UNDO (redo). I have no problem with Shift + TAB,
though. After all, the key itself is only a minor consideration. I just
wanted to know if it should be implemented.
Oh, by the way, why do you convert the TAB key to anything at all?
If you are using the form_keybd() function, it will convert the TAB
for itself. Using that function also has the advantage that people
who install Let'em'Fly can use the extended editing features even
in programs that have windowed dialog boxes. (I found this out the
hard way; for a few minutes I had thought I had programmed a complete
cursor library complete with a history buffer without remembering
it. <Grin!>)

Ooops! Yes, I meant Shift + Control + G. Sorry about that...
