Rob: Another question; are you saying that I can add additional "new" entrys to the file instead of just editing existing ones? Steve</KEY></ENTRY>
Yes.
Just copy/paste the four lines
(Entry)
(Key)CTRL+Z(/Key)
(Down)AP_ALT_HOLD(/Down)
(/Entry)
Note: the "(" and ")" sign actually is the "smaller then" resp "greater then" sign.
at that position and replace the key and event strings in the added section.

Note:
For FS9, I once did a full compare of all possible events in FS9 and the ones you could assign via the FS9 menu.
Not even counting toggle-type events (like ToggleLights vs. LightOn and LightOFF), there were about 25 functional command that you couldn't assign to a key/button via the menu.
For FSX this probably is a lot more .....
TIP: if you use FSUIPC: in that zip file, Pete included a file "FSX controls", which contains all events you can assign in the way I described.
And if you're using the registered version of FSUIPC: there's no need to do this manual edit of the Default.xml file; you can assign any of those events to key/button via assignments in FSUIPC.
The "only" thing you need to know: what the heck do all these events do exactly (like the difference between the 2 AltHold command described above). Most of them are in the FSX SDK, but their description sometimes is very unclear and ambiguous.
Like both these events are described as "Toggles altitude hold mode"; yes, they do, but one holds "current" altitude and sets the Alt Selector to the current altitude, while the other goes-to and holds a "pre-set" altitude. Quite a difference
