  Yes, along with ^PW, ^PE and one other.  (Long time for me, too.)  I was
  trying to avoid WINSTALL, but your response and some others have convinced
  me that's the only way to go.  I'll probably have one for ESC, as you
  suggest.  But I'll set up the other 3 with common esc seq so as not to throw
  off the formatting.

  Thanks for the feedback.
