Out of curiosity, how could a user find them without knowing the
functions are there already? I can't find those functions with which,
help, or iskeyword. It seems like they should show up somehow
(especially with help). I could add them to the help documentation for
keyboard, but that doesn't help too much if they don't have their own
help pages.
Thanks,
Bill
