Hah hah, that good old 6809 C lack of "unsigned char" bites us once again, 
with a SEX-ually transmitted disease :-)  Not that it's an excuse for the 68K 
version, but whoever coded it may have still been thinking 6809.  Maybe Scred 
was written first for the 6809?

Q: Where can I get Scred?
A: That's the first time I've heard that question in the pluperfect 
subjunctive :-)

Seriously, way back when, as a learning project for FrameMaker on the Sun 
workstation at work, I made a nice "cheat sheet" for Scred, showing a big 
keyboard with each key listing its function (Alt-ed, shifted, or controlled).  I may 
still have one left that I could scan and send out to anyone interested, but 
by now everyone knows how well I find things :-)
