And I, just as personally, hate to see the ink* indicators.  Our shop 
standard is that *in01-*in24 are reserved for function keys and if you see 
one you know what it means. Boy do I dislike seeing *inkj and wondering what 
was pressed (<counting on fingers> a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j - 10 - he pressed F10. 
No, wait.  'i' does not count. Start over a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,j  - 9 - he pressed 
F9.  Wow.  Sure am glad the programmer did not just set *in09 on when the 
user pressed F9.  That would be way hard.
