I second the problem and (coincidently) the workaround. While it IS necessary
to reboot the PC to get the new hot key enabled, it is not necessary to add
mount and unmount printer commands to the autoexec.bat as Mr. Olson 
suggested. The printer hotkey sequence is stored in a file LPCNF3 in the
C:\NFS directory and can be freely copied to other PCs to change the default
hotkey sequence after installation of PC-NFS.
