Just so I get this completely straight -- you're a tech writer, probably
a product expert, and you're not allowed to file a bug report against the
program? Especially a bug where the application interferes with the
operating
system?
Or if you did file a report, it would be ignored because you're a tech
writer?

Thanks for the moral support (sorry, no *truly* brilliant ideas surfaced)
regarding the Alt-key/keypad quandary.
The votes:
Four people adamantly declared it a bug and demanded that the
programmers fix it (I laugh!! I laugh!! I want to work where they do, in the
world where programmers do what writers tell them).
