A friend found the solution to my problem.  It seems that the T1000 can be
in either one of two keyboard emulation modes.  The default mode is an
"84-key" emulation mode that corresponds to the old IBM PC/XT keyboard.
Microsoft Word 4.0's shift-key block selection does not work in this
default mode.  The alternate mode is a "101-key" emulation that corresponds
to the AT type extended keyboard.  By selecting this alternate keyboard
mode in the SETUP10 program, you can get all the Microsoft Word keyboard
block selection mode to work correctly.
