Solved my own problem ... I discovered I was not limited to the build-in choices when using ActionManager's shortcuts. So I created an Action, made its shortcut Ctrl-Shift-S, and the OnExecute method includes confirming that the active control is the Memo to which I want to assign the shortcut. Perhaps I should pen a short note of appreciation to myself :-)
