The Softerm 2 three key "keyboard enhancement" is a kludge, no doubt, and does 
use up an expansion slot. However, it allows a wide range of commands, including macros written by the user, to be executed by pressing one or two of the keys, 
plus a regular keyboard key. I believe a version without the "enhancement" 
exists for the \\c, but haven't seen it.
