Thanks, that's helpful. Better than the VRC-1100 page which is also on the
Wiki. I'll add some cross-links between the articles. My primary concern is
getting the main navigation and playback keys working. The shortcut keys
are less critical but I'll try to get as many working as practical. I did
discover the Clear key works as Esc but the Back key is in a more logical
location for that function, which is why I swapped the button mapping.

Thanks,

Karl
