Please note that I'm specifically NOT supplying an opinion in this debate (I
know, very unusual, but hey, I'm mellowing in my old age).  However, the
three "non-standard" keys most often used in applications are HELP, PAGEUP
and PAGEDOWN.  To that end, IBM supplies the ALTHELP, ALTPAGEUP and
ALTPAGEDWN keywords to allow mapping them to standard keys.  CUA standards
dictate F1 for HELP and F7/F8 for PAGEUP/DN.
