Enter the Control Panel (the NDA version in graphics mode).  Pick the
alphabet icon and change the setting to None if you want the option
key to work as before.  Usually you would keep this set to Standard.
I sometimes have to do this to get the option keys in Paintworks Gold
to work as well.  However, it's been this way ever since System Disk
5.0 so I don't know why you didn't notice it until now.

Buy the manual.  I haven't had time to read mine carefully yet. :-)
