The right Meta key has Stop printed on the front. I've never seen this on a Mac or PC keyboard. Is it a UNIX-layout thing?
The only STOP key I've ever seen was my Commodore 64! ;)

Yes, it's a UNIX thing. Unix keyboards have a STOP key.

Thanks!

I really thought you were going to say something like, "WTF?? I have to use key combinations for everything now—even stuff as basic as moving my cursor around? But that's a lot more work, not less. So why did I pay all that dough for this? So the babes in my office would see it and stop and say, 'Aw, what a cute l'il board!' and chat me up about it? But they're not doing that—and meanwhile, here I am stuck with this runty thing that makes me use two or three times as many keys to do stuff. In whose universe was this a good idea??"
But you didn't say anything like that, so okay.
