Outlook through VNC works fine with the special keys.

Undoubtably. X11 servers have to add their own level of remapping.
Today I did a few new experiments and talked with other users. I connected
from another NT box and saw the same problem. I connected in reverse from
the problem box to another NT and things worked fine. Other people report
having this problem intermittantly so I rebooted. The the problem is now
gone. Should have done that first but I hate to boot remotely.
Next time I will try just restarting the Exceed X11 server to give more
isolation information.
Thanks.
