[GreenKeys] What is this thing?

Hi Ron:

When I researched early codes, I found that the Murray code came after the
"original" (finger-activated) Baudot code, and before the ITA2/USTTY
standard that we now call Baudot.  As I understand it, the Murray code was
only used on early Creed machines.

Do you have a link to the Greenman web site?
