Argh!!! Very funny :-)  The problem is that I keep holding the key down too
long.  A nice Windows (<spit!>) feature is that when that happens, it
suspects you may have keyboard difficulties and pops up a message asking if
you want the Accessibility options turned on.  If you tell it not to bother
you again, it won't, otherwise iirc it asks how long it should wait before
doing this sort of thing.  Even MS gets things right sometimes.
