As a result of last week's discussion of an accessible version of the Sony
2010 manual, I've produced the following "cheat sheet" template or list or
whatever you want to call it of the 2010's keys.  Why I didn't do this years
ago is beyond me, but it sure makes life easier trying to both use the 2010
and interpret the manual text that some of us were sent.  For what it's
worth, the list of keys appears under my signature, below.  If anybody has
questions or suggested improvements, I'm more than anxious to hear them.
