My left hand stubbornly refuses to learn how to touch-type the command
key because of the weird gyration involved in reaching it with the pinkie.

I greatly prefer the control key as a prefix. Have been loading MacroMaker
with control key commands to make Word leverage the commands that I 
laboriously learned from emacs.

I trashed AutoMac (free with Word 4.0) for this very reason...it won't even
accept control key prefixes.
