Anything that corresponds to something very application-specific should
be kept in the app's own config file. Auto-save, whatever.

And again, I don't even very much like the idea of maintianing keys in a
global file anyway.

More or less to Tim, but everyone should suggestion at end!
Well, since the majority of the vote is AGAINST re-assigning ^A, you had
better get used to the app-defs.sys file and global keys, because that
file is gonna save you data. That file is gonna let you make ^A redraw.
That file is gonna do it all for you. If you can be as insistant about
USING the app-defs.sys file as you are about re-assigning ^A, then I
think we should nominate you to talk to ATARI about making AtariWorks
Gem-list compliant!!!
There needs to be some rule of thumb at least, to say what can and cannot
be put in the file. I propose this :
If it can change during the course of a running program, then place it
somewhere else! Otherwise, app-defs is a good spot.
