January 30, 2008 While using Remote Desktop (RDP), there's a need to
distinguish between the local and remote sessions, when using Windows
special keys. This is accomplished via an RDP-equivalent set of special
keys, to be used within the remote session. pcAnywhere, in contrast,
handles it by prompting you each time the special keys are invoked.
