Have you ever read the technical manual for the QX10? It appears there were 2 keyboards sold for it. One had Valdocs-specific keys, the other (which seems more common over here, not that the QX10 is a common machine) doesn't and was used for a more standard CP/M system. I see absolutely no reason why the latter could not run spreadsheets, accounting programs, language compilers/interpreters, etc. -tony
