This is a nice little INIT, but trying to use the keyboard switch from within
VersaTerm PRO v 2.00 leads to disastrous results.  On a Mac II, it scrambles
the monitor.  On a 512KE, it hangs the machine with mouse-freeze.  This might
have something do with the way VersaTerm PRO uses option-keys, but I wouldn't
recommend using it with VersaTerm PRO.  If you do, don't try to switch using
the keyboard when in VersaTerm PRO, since you will certainly have to reboot.
