Here's another suggestion that may do what you want: DV learn mode allows you to attach a sequence of keystrokes to C/A/D. So, just start learn mode, specify C/A/D as the "key" to be programmed, and give it the sequence of keys to exit Carbon Copy through the menus. In my experience, DV programmed keys replay very quickly. If Carbon Copy has reasonable I/O, you may not notice much difference. Good luck. Karl
