And absolutely none taken, believe me.

However... ANYKEY LIVES!

I found this:

Won't clear a macro.
Following information was sent by email and taken from: http://support.gateway.com/support/faq/dt-mouse/07039803.shtml (that link has probably been broken for 20 years now)
The Anykey keyboard is a programmable keyboard that lets you change what a certain key types. This gibberish usually happens when the Program Macro key is accidentally pressed during normal typing. Do the following to clear this and return the keyboard to normal:
1. On your screen, locate and click your Start button.
2. Click Shut Down.
3. Select Shut down your computer?, then click Yes.
4. Hold the Suspend Macro key down when you turn your computer back on.
5. Release the Suspend Macro key after the Windows logo appears.

on the internet, and it worked!

And, I owe you an apology. I also found (on the same website as above) that some models of the AnyKey require the CTRL key for the remap function, and some do not. As it turns out, all of my AnyKeys require it.

Now I just have to take the keyboard apart again and find out what I did to bollix up two of the keys that worked fine before, but now don't work at all. I've an idea what the problem is; these AnyKeys are pretty tricky to reassemble. LOTS of pieces to get just a little bit out of alignment.
