I also prefer to use two hands, however, I couldn't stand Falco's
key definitions so I went into RK2 and setup my own keys.  I used
the right and left arrow keys for right and left, the down arrow 
for drop, MTH for rotate (it was a comfortable place to hold my
left thumb), 'S' for quit (stop), and 'H' for pause (hold).  'N'
and 'O' for next and off remained the same.  This configuration
allows you to hold the 48 with both hands, using your left thumb
to rotate the pieces and your right thumb to move/drop the pieces.
I find it much easier to play this way than to set it on a desktop
and use my fingers.

				Just a suggestion,
