SPHINX uses the default keymap (you set this with SetKeyMap) to map the
keyboard. In parenthesis I have given what SPHINX really looks for when it is
not obvious.

control-key strokes are supported not because they are easier to use, but in
order to be compatible with NEWCON:.

no key is allowed to repeat after it has been released. however, if you
repeatedly press a key, every press will be acted upon.

S-  = Shift-
A-  = Alternate-
C-  = Control-
RA- = Right Amiga-
SA- = Shift + Alternate-
SRA-= Shift + Right Amiga-
LMB = Left Mouse Button
NR  = No Repeat. this key is not allowed to repeat at all
RAW = the key in interpreted at the raw key code stage in its most common form

RETURN/ENTER/C-M ($0d)  end of input, append a LF and make it available
C-\ ($1c)               end of file, same actions as RETURN, but returns a
			 EOF
C-J ($0a)               end of line, same actions as RETURN, but does not
			 make the line available

BACKSPACE/C-H ($08) RAW delete character to the left of cursor
DELETE	  ($7f)     RAW delete character to the right of cursor
S-BS/C-U  ($08+shf/$15) delete all to the left of cursor
S-DEL/C-K ($7f+shf/$0b) delete all to the right of cursor
A-BS	  ($08+alt) RAW delete (fraction of) word to the left of cursor,
			 or punctuation mark to the left
A-DEL	  ($7f+alt) RAW delete (fraction of) word to the right of cursor,
			 or punctuation mark to the right
C-X	  ($18)         reset inputs

RA-X/UNDO GG NR undo: if searching, cancel search and restore input buffer
		      if wording, cancel wording and restore input buffer
		      if literal, cancel literal
		      if just inserted, delete inserted text
		      else, undo the last block of text deleted;
		      gadget imagery is used as a status indicator

RIGHT ARROW RAW  move cursor one character to the right
LEFT ARROW  RAW  move cursor one to the left
S-RIGHT/C-Z RAW  move cursor to the end of input line
S-LEFT/C-A  RAW  move cursor to the start of input line
A-RIGHT (R+a) RAW usually move cursor one word to the right
A-LEFT	(L+a) RAW usually move cursor one word to the left
C-RIGHT (R+c) RAW same as A-RIGHT
C-LEFT	(L+c) RAW same as A-LEFT
C-W	($17)     move cursor to the right to next tab stop
UP ARROW      RAW look back at next older old input line
DOWN ARROW    RAW look back at next newer old input line
S-UP/C-R ($12) NR RAW search back in saved input for next string matching
		 search string
		if the string is less than or MaxLitCmpChars long, then
		 search for a line that starts with that character,
		else do a fragment comparision, looking for an input line
		 that has the same characters as the string in the same
		 order, but with any number of other characters in between
		if the string is completely in capital letters, the
		comparison(s) are case insensitive, else case sensational
S-DOWN	   RAW go to bottom: if searching and cursor is visible, cancel search
 ($02)                       & restore input buffer
			    else if cursor is visible, scroll cursor to top
			     line
			    else, scroll cursor to bottom line of window
C-B		always cancel search & restore input buffer

RA-W	     NR do word search through all text to finish word to the left
		 of cursor

C-S		toggle output stop
SC-S		disable automatic scroll when cursor reaches bottom of wd
C-G/C-Q 	manual automatic-scroll enable and output enable

SA-UP (SU+a) RAW scroll back so that next previous input line is on top line
		  of window
A-UP   (U+a) RAW scroll up ½ window
A-DOWN (D+a) RAW scroll down ½ window
C-UP   (U+c) RAW scroll up one line
C-DOWN (D+c) RAW scroll down one line

RA-Z/ICONIZE GG NR iconify window(s); to deiconify, activate bar and press a
		    key or right mouse button
RA-O		NR open/shrink window
RA-]/SRA-]	NR window(s) to front
RA-[/SRA-[	NR window(s) to back

RA-L	     NR toggle the literal trigger: when the literal trigger is
		 loaded, the next keystroke is not interpreted, but is put
		 directly in the input buffer, thus a C-X can be put in the
		 input buffer by preceding it by RA-L
SRA-L	     NR toggle the literal trigger like RA-L, but if it is being set
		 then set it in such a way that it is not automatically
		 canceled when it is "used"; lock it until it is manually
		 released (with RA-L,SRA-L,UNDO)

RA-G	     NR cycle through clipping modes, or, if in a mode which has
		been used, go back to private
SRA-G	     NR same as RA-G

RA-I	     NR insert from clipboard (unit 0)
SRA-I	     NR insert from insert file
RA-P	     NR toggle insert parsing
RA-A	     NR insert again the previous clipboard or private insertion
		(file insertions are not saved for RA-A)

RA-R	     NR put up an arp file requestor and insert the filename
SRA-R	     NR put up an arp file requestor and insert the path & filename

RA-C	     NR open configuration window / pop it to front

SCROLL-GG	when clicked upon and when moved, redraws the window using
		the location of the gadget to determine what line of saved
		text is new top line

RA-F		free some memory by forgetting the oldest block of text
SRA-F	     NR free all the memory that can be freed (equivalent to holding
		down RA-F until everything possible has been freed)

F1 to F10 RAW NR   go to previously marked spot n
S-F1 to S-F10 RAW  mark current upperleft character in spot n
		NOTE: F10 is special: it allows you to set a boundary below
		      which all automatic (even RA-F) freeing of text is not
		      allowed. this allows you to keep something useful from
		      being freed when you are about to do something that
		      would ordinarily cause it to be freed (i.e. typing
		      (type) a large file to the window)
		      when F10 is doing this, the Undo gadget shows a small
		      `10' the lower right corner, as a reminder
A-F10 (F10+alt) RAW cancel F10 and its boundary, and allow the text to be
		      freed

C-Fn		RAW insert input string and enter line

C-C ($03)       signal the sender of a pending read, write or waitchar
C-D ($04)       request, or if there are none the sender of the next packet
C-E ($05)       recieved, the appropriate signal
C-F ($06)

LMB on input buffer	move cursor to pointer
LMB double click	clip word under pointer
LMB dragged		define and clip text block

Undo GG imagery is:
if inserts are parsed, subscripted with a `P'
if Searching Wording or Literal, then a `S', a `W', a `L' or a script `L',
depending on whether this literal is locked,
else clipping type (`X'=private,`C'=clipboard,`F'=file), which is scripted
 if the mode is locked.


window parameters:

/CLOSE,/AUTO,/WAIT,/NOBORDER,/NODEPTH,/NOCLOSE,/SIZE,/NODRAG,/BACKUP
just like the 2.0 CON:, plus
/SPHINXNOGADGETS
which removes the iconizing, scrolling and undo gadgets from the window
(for the con:-like look), and
/SPHINXCONFIG/configfilename
which specifies the config to use instead of the default. Only the config
file name can be specified; the path is always "s:".

these parameters work under 1.3 and 2.0, BTW.
