 I get the output at least twice in Plus11 but many times I get 3 outputs
- it depends on how long I press Alt-s for. in dBase 2019 I get it only
once if I push briefly, several times if I hold the keys down. I thought
it had something to do with the Keyboard repeat delay but I just tested
it and the delay setting does not affect this particular issue. It's
like Plus11 ignores the Keyboard repeat delay of Windows.

Ken, Is there a similar kbd repeat delay setting in dBase?
