Well, they're no more identical than '3' and 'W'.

Anyway, I've noticed that my right-logo key hasn't been molested by
sourceMage, so I'm using that instead of Alt.
But it's still not right - I'm unable to use one-handed key combinations
for keys on the left end of the keyboard, eg Alt-Q or Alt-R. The left
logo key doesn't do anything.

So, to whoever set up the XEmacs spell, or anyone with good X or Emacs
expertise, I'd really appreciate some simple advice on how to correct
this problem.

Thanks so much
David
