Hi, Derek! I tried it again, and discovered that the Alt-Graphics key itself is the one causing the problem. The Ctrl-Alt combination behaves the same way. I think this may be related to the keyboard layout. I am using a MSI Wind netbook with Spanish keyboard. At this very moment I cannot test it in another PC, but later I will do it.

I suspected this too. Try running the \demo\key.ex program. That will show the 'key code' for any key you press. The ed.ex program uses the key codes to work out what to do.
