Here's an expanded list based on e-mail input and some experimentation
at home.  If you want to test your skill, try to copy a file from a 
non-foreground window to another window without raising the source 
window and without using the mouse :-).

Legend:
   alt = Alternate
   ctl = Control
   del = Delete
   [cursor] = any of up, down, left, right arrows

"Classic" GEM keys:
   alt+Help				screen dump
   Return				accept default dialog button (the one
					with the bold outline)
   Esc					re-read disk for active window; ALSO,
					erase GEM text input field
   left click+Shift			toggle file selection (allows multiple
					selections)
   hold mouse right+left click		select file from background window

"Classic" GEM keyboard equivalents to mouse actions:
   alt+Insert				left mouse button
   alt+ClrHome				right mouse button
   alt+Shift+[cursor]			move pointer by 1 pixel
   alt+[cursor]				move pointer by 8 pixels
   alt+Insert+[cursor]			left drag

TOS 1.4 GEM keys:
   left drag+ctl			move instead of copy
   ctl+alt+del				warm reboot
   ctl+alt+shift+del			cold reboot
   dbl-click left+Shift			run program in background window with
					current directory set to background 
					window directory

Show file keys:
   space				page forward
   return				line forward
   q					exit show
   d					half-page foreward (TOS 1.4 only)
