generator that uses very little system resources for about a month. It
is very easy to use, does not conflict with Nat Deluxe and is easy to
make voice macros to activate the hotkeys for. It sells for $24.95 (US)
and there is an on-line down load available for evaluation. The URL is:

I realize this is not quite the same as a programmable keyboard, but
would it not serve the same purpose?
