[Fluxus] Fluxus on Windows - buttons?

[evan.raskob [lists]]

Hmm... never tried running virtual linux.  the IT department already  
hates me because of the massive required software list I dropped on  
them a week before term, I may have to wait until next term to sort  
that out :)

About ALT - I could have sworn I tried ALT and all the other function  
keys, but with no result.  Will try again when I get back in to the  
university on Tuesday.

Best
Evan
