Dan,
  Vocal-Eyes allows you to define every single hot key to your choice
of keystroke.  However, the keystroke must produce a valid code.  For
example, you can not setup a hotkey to CONTROL-ALT-W or ALT-DELETE.
If you have a 101 keyboard your choices increase tremendously but there
are still limitations.  Unfortunately the ALT number pad will not work.
This is used by the system to produce certain ASCII values which would
otherwise not be accessable from the keyboard.

The main reason for this limitation is so Vocal-Eyes can be totally
compatible with all macro programs out on the market.  At some point
Vocal-Eyes will probably have its own macro processor.  But because macros
are arely required with Vocal-Eyes this has not been a high priority
but I had to allow the ability for those people that wanted macros.

I guess Dan, this is a very long way of saying you can not assign
a Vocal-Eyes hotkey to a ALT-num pad keystroke.

Regards,
  Doug
