Well, I remember that "9" always used to be cancel... a good,
-programmer's- key assignment.

And good 'ol F1 to Exit...  used to be able to find -that- key in the dark!
Thank heavens I've learned to touch type!  (:

I'm not sure why the keys got re-arranged between the S/38 and the 400...
was it the PC people having their influence?
