[WT-support] Redefining the * key

[Clive Whelan]

Hi Larry

Omigosh! Oh well at least now I know, and I certainly didn't know about 
2. below. Computers are still the "enemy" for me, but having built a 
computer ( Motorola 6800) when it involved soldering components onto a 
PCB ( just like radio!) in erm, 1978?, I know and respect my enemy. OK, 
I'll watch the builds. A mon cote, "plain vanilla" Pause serait FB.

Merci bien
