As I said, it's not a huge issue for me ... I can look at my keyboard 
for the letters and "translate," :)  Not all my machines have USOS, 
though I am not sure which do and which don't.  The 28 KSR in the shack 
obviously does.  When the real reports start tomorrow I can throw a 
couple more machines on to find out.

73,
