Ctrl-Alt-letter keys may be preempted by the OS, or they may trigger a menu.
When you type
:verbose set wak?
what is the answer?
Oh, and 7.3.046 is already old hat: for W32 I recommend the "Vim without
Cream" distribution, available as gvim-<version>.exe (a self-installer,
currently for 7.3.289) at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/
Best regards,
Tony.

============================================
Hi Tony,
Thanks for the quick response! I had already discovered the issue with menu
interference, so I have set winaltkeys=no from my vimrc. This problem does
seem a little conspicuous to me, since it is not just some keys, but _every_
key. GVIM is only responding to <M-C-k> if k is an arrow key, or some other
control key like <BS>,<Del>,<Ins>.
I will upgrade as you suggested, and see if that helps...
Thanks again.
-WES
