This is probably a stupid question, but...

Is the "repeat" key functional under SR10.3? My node at work was recently
upgraded from 10.2 and I just noticed that the "repeat" key doesn't
work anymore (though I'm not sure when it stopped working). So, how do
I make this key active? The standard "keys" help page doesn't seem to say
anything about this key. Is there a way to "kd" it?

While on the subject of keys...

My nodes at home are running SR9.7, and the "mark" function for marking a
text region is behaving like the Sun or xterm implementation, so I can't
do things like "box" an area (which the node at work WILL do). I haven't
really looked into this yet, so the answer might be trivial, but how do
I get the "boxing" function active on my home machines?

And yet another key question...

Does anyone have a better key definition than the default for the "help"
key under UNIX? What I want is that if it can't find the man page for a
command it just tells me via the message window instead of popping up a blank
pad (which gets annoying if you press the key by accident). I know the old
9.7 "help" function (for Aegis) worked this way.
