My m2s for instance iconizes a window. It seems to me that you cannot detect whether the ctrl/shift key has been depressed by itself, but only as a modifier of other keys. As of using GPR with shift/m[1-3], you have just to try and see wich character is sent when shift/m[1-3] is depressed. For what I remember right now, the m[1-3] (unshifted) send something like 'a', 'b' and 'c'. Hope this helps. Achille Petrilli, Cray and PWS Operations
