Some soft menus are sneakily hidden, even when flag -117 is set. For example, the old 48G left-shift Time soft menu (menu 94) is accessed on the 50g by pressing right-shift, and while still holding it down, pressing 9. If you release the shift before pressing 9, you get the 48g right-shift Time choose box menu. Same with the two NUM.SLV menus on right-shift 7. And so on.

All of the 50g's "hidden" menus and key assignments are listed in the AUR's Appendix G (Keyboard Shortcuts) and Appendix H (The Menu-Number Table). Also very useful for learning how to use the 50g efficiently is Appendix I (The Command Menu-Path Table) which shows all the ways to access every command from the keyboard.

Have fun learning the 50g! It takes a while, but it's fun to learn, and the efficiency gained is well worth the time spent learning it.
