Hi,

Thanks... Alt-backspace sounds cool.

Both Ctrl-ESC and Alt-ESC are used by Windows.  Ctrl-ESC brings up the
Start
menu, and Alt-ESC switches between active windows on the screen.  Also for
purposes of information

	Ctrl-Shift-ESC brings up Task Manager.
	Ctrl-TAB is *supposed* to switch between MDI child windows in an MDI
application, but this may be deprecated behavior as it seems that some of
MS's latest and greatest don't seem to use this anymore.

You might consider using Alt-Backspace for the purpose of clearing the
event
buffer instead.  I don't know of any app which uses this combination, and
it
seems easy enough to remember.
