[MlMt] Debugging custom keystrokes (another newbie question)

[Robert Goldman]

Thank you very much!  One thing I didn't understand before is the 
file-ordering matter.  From your email it sounds like the *first* 
binding of a key wins when there are multiple bindings.  Is that 
correct?  I had assumed that it would be the *last* binding, so I put my 
key bindings in the list after the Postbox ones.

Once again, I very much appreciate the time you have taken to help with 
this.

Best regards,
Robert
