    Ok, stripe and sett I get... stripe hides most of the vertical lines in the pleats, sett reproduces the pattern.

    Looks like box pleated is where each pleat lies in both directions... And knife pleated is all in one direction? Do I got that right?

    And thanks for the pics, really helped!

    I like that about the keys. My daughter had the same problem, only it was her pey Cockatoo that picked all of the keys off of her key board. She never did find all of them, so some didn't go back in the right places. That keyboard was a nightmare for someone like me who has to look at the keys to type, but since she works in data entry and is a touch typest, she had few problems
