If we change them anyway, then I'd suggest go for
' Control
" Shift + Control
as those signs are REALLY part of ANY character set. Check out the latest
WINX versions (beta only at present) and notice that you can't use any
'nice' font for your windows as the fonts don't have the closer and fuller
symbols...

I absolutely agree.

Yes, that's very good indeed. It will just be 'Shift Control ?' on some
keyboards, and 'Control ?' on others, if you use the routines I posted
yesterday. The menu should simply say ^?, as SHIFT will be added precisely
on all keyboards where the '?' already has a SHIFT in it.

Anyone who can provide some more information on what precisely NKCC is?
