And what does X use em for?  I've been playing with my new Happy Hacking 
Keyboard at work (as opposed to my old HHK at home) and trying to decide on 
the best use of the <> keys.  One is now the compose key and the other 
Meta_R but since I never use Emacs I'm wondering if I might not just use it 
for something else (e.g. Alt_grey).

Did you know the HHK Lite 2 is a whole .4 of an inch longer, front to 
back, than the old HHK Lite?  I got it out of the box and my first 
reaction was "But it's huge!"
