I'm sorry, I did'ent do a very good job of posing my question in my 
origional post.  
I have done all that stuff that is described above, and
basically, what I am wondering about is why is it that only certain keys
are available to be chosen for assigning game functions to.  (In other 
words I have noticed to my dismay that in the list on the right hand side
giving available keys, all too many are in grey and thus cannot be chosen.)
I want to make some very large changes to the general organization
of the Mech controls, and the abbreviated list of pickable keys prevents
me from doing so.
So, it is a relatively trivial point, but still why is it that only certain
keys can be chosen, and is there a possible way to lift this limitation?

Thanks for the help,
Damion
