There seems to be a peculiar "misfeature" related to keyboard rollover.
I don't know if this is due to Uniterm or just another quirk in the
hardware or software.  Try this: hold down SHIFT, press S and while it
is pressed, press E or D.  You have to be quick and do it before autorepeat
kicks in.  What I get is the SHIFT-F1 key definition, which is my CIS
usernumber.  This often comes up when I am rapidly typing "USER" or other
words with "SE": I get US72337,3417
ER.
Running together "SE", "SD", "TF", "GH", and probably others all generate
a fake SHIFT-F1.  Reverse of the above "ES", "DS", etc also seem to do it.
I haven't seen any of the other function keys "aliased" like that, and I
haven't found a lowercase combination that triggers it. Very strange, and
sometimes annoying (as when typing in a flame like,
WHY CAN'T YOU STUPID US72337,3417
ERS GET IT RIG72337,3417
HT????  Sort of obscures the essence of the prose.)
