I'd never heard of it, but given the secret code name "Quick Launch,"
I immediately found it in the index of my XP book (which was the only
one available, and that only as a remainder, back in October, after
they'd started trying to impose Vista on everyone) and will get it
fired up ASAP.
Thanks very much!!
Two solutions in one thread. Wow.

I can't help with the Greek part, but you can drag buttons for applications
(and perhaps other things) onto the Quick Launch bar on the Windows Taskbar.
Do you have the QL bar activated?

The most useful page that I found with google ishttp://www.doaks.org/publications/unicodegreekguide.pdf
It was one of the places that gave mehttp://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/wrg_redirect.asp?URL=polytonic
which is the page that no longer exists. (I also got to it from within
MS's incredibly convoluted website.)
From this pagehttp://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/perspectives/polytonic.mspx
I learn that the file I (probably) need is called The Greek Polytonic
System.doc, and it's 1 Mb.

What is the link (before it resolves to "Page not found")? And have you
seen
the title of the article anywhere?
Also, is the article "WD2000: General Information about the Microsoft
Visual
Keyboard" athttp://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=241125atall helpful?
That looks like a much older item -- in XP Pro it's called On-Screen
Keyboard, and it works very well (so well that I can now type my
Bblical Greek examples from the keyboard, except that I still have to
go back and pick out the accented letters from Insert Symbol!).
But again, it doesn't reveal the keystrokes -- just like, if you
didn't have a written-out list, you wouldn't know that you get umlauts
by typing Ctrl-Shift-Colon, then the vowel (cap or lc)
Which reminds me ... a Windows, not a Word, question, but a friend can
put buttons for useful things down on the taskbar by simply dragging
icons onto it, but when I drag an icon down there, it gets a "Do Not
Enter" icon and nothing happens, so I have to get my On-Screen
Keyboard from the Start menu, which is lots of extra mousing and
clicking. Are there different grades of XP Pro?

Many, many pages at MS point to a link for downloading a 1 Mb file
that (presumably) shows the key-sequences for typing Greek with all
the accents, breathings, etc., but clicking that link takes you to a
page saying the wanted page does not exist.
Does anyone have a copy of that document they could email to me?
(I also got a keyboard layout diagram that shows dead keys and the
Greek names of the accents etc. that they produce, but that doesn't
tell me the English names I know them by, and it doesn't say what
order to type them in to get multiple ones on a single letter.)-- Hide quoted text -
