No no no no no. Bad Russell. Paddle paddle. The "Apple" key does not

exist on all Mac keyboards. The "Command" key does (sometimes I refer to

it as a cloverleaf).


The open-apple is a legacy of the days when Macs and IIGS's could

exchange keyboards; the IIGS, of course, used the apple, while the Mac

used the cloverleaf. (Both Macs and IIGS machines used the same kind of

keyboard connector.)


However in the Mac world it has *always* been called the Command key. As

an old Mac coder it used to drive me *nuts* when someone referred to

that key as the "open apple" key. Still does, obviously. :)
