I'm using it now.  When you launch an app, it adds it to the list and it 
applies the default bindings to it.  This was bad for me with PuTTY (ssh 
client) and with VNC, so far, so I opened XKeymacs properties and set it 
to "Disable XKeymacs" for those apps.  When an app has focus (is that what 
it's called in MS Windows?), the XKeymacs icon in the tray is either 
yellow (working) or red (disabled).  So you can tell what you're getting.

I think it worked brilliantly in Notepad.  I set the "kill ring max" to 20 
and it really does give you multiple kill buffers that you can access 
using Ctrl-U n Ctrl-Y.  I didn't know that was possible in Windows, so I 
was pleased.

So far so good.  I'll tell you if it does anything bad.

Mike
