I knew there had to be a use for that Windows key.  ;-)

Actually, on my IBM "M" keybaord, there is (thankfully) no Windows key.  
On my computer, the Pause key is used as the compose key. Since my 
computer is configured for the U.S. International layout, the right Alt 
(AltGr) is used for the extra characters that layout provides.  It would 
be nice if those other characters were on the key tops, as I have to 
refer to a layout chart for the appropriate keystrokes.
