Maybe it was Control.  The point was, they rejected the entire feature 
suggestion on the basis that one part of it used an optional modifier 
key which wasn't present on one of the by-then-long-obsolete compact 
1-bit-display diskless Macs, blithely ignoring that at that point the 
*entire OS* was unsupported on that model of Mac because you couldn't 
fit a usable OS image on an 800K floppy.
