ok - I should update the non-widget manpage list there (it doesn't list
cdk_compat, cdk_objs, cdk_params, cdk_position, either, now that I'm 
looking).

hmm - I seem to have left out a paragraph - reading the code, those are

        EXIT-SAVE is function-key 10
        EXIT-CANCEL is control/X
        RESET-DATA is control/R

That's done by binding to the special function getcCDKBind

it would require code code
