Gerald,

Changing the VM is pointless. It'll only confuse you if "Sensor
controlKeyPressed" returns true when you press the Alt key but false when
you press the control key. Just change the keyboard bindings within Squeak -
hey you can even do that *while* Squeak is running ;-)

Cheers,
  - Andreas
