    Hmmm... "Tab thru 'R'" implies that W and R don't work with <CTRL><SHIFT>.
    Yet, the ACTION! editor uses these along with other <CTRL><SHIFT> combinations.
    (It has used such combinations since ACTION! first appeared, as far as I know.)
    How does it work, if the key combo's don't generate any codes?

Well, probably I got the details wrong.  I don't have my notes from
doing Kermit in front of me, so I probably misremembered exactly which
sections are busted.  I do clearly remember that there are two sections
of the keyboard, one approximately on the left half, one on the right,
and separated by one row, that don't generate anything with c-sh-.
