Bill,
Don't wrap the command in a TEXT...ENDTEXT. Put your keystroke combination in the Abbrev field and add your USE ? to the Data field. The USE ? will fire as part of the script and you can return any text you want after that. Perhaps what alias was opened or you can return "" to clear it from the Command Window.

HTH.
