This means :-

<ctrl><insert> --> copy
<shift><insert>  --> paste

This is what 95% of Windows users know and use.

I propose not necessarily now but sometime in the future that on the Windows 
platform and only on the Windows platform that a preference option is made 
avaiable that allows the standard Windows CnP keystrokes in duplicate to the 
standard Squeak CnP keystrokes, whether or not that preference flag is 
activated or not as default is another matter, but I think this option 
should be there and probably as I say only on the Windows platform.

This is most probably what most Windows users expect, and kicking the 
<ctrl>/<shift><insert> habit is hard and results in the "<shift><insert> 
unknown character insertion bug" as I call it. Hint Hint, Can I or someone 
file this as a bug report please !:)

Okay thats my 0.02cents worth,
