First of all, making digests is a _very_ good idea, although it isn't easy
for me, because I can't use my Falcon. I have to use on of that silly PCs:-(

It makes sense, it's easy and `B/E' are free for other useful things. I
can't think of any other useful operation for the brackets.

I would prefer SHORTCUT.SYS or KEYBOARD.SYS. I think even not English
speaking people do know what they mean, if they know a little about
computers.

A line 'char | subject' (i.e. '# SHORTCUT') and afterwards the definitions
for that special subject? Perhaps it's better to get a own *.SYS for
everything. If you make a mistake in one *.SYS the rest is ok. Perhaps it
looks better to have all in one. I don't know.
