Thank you: it was the FrontEnd`NotebookWrite... expression and the After 
that I didn't know about.

You say not to create any other .tr files in the same directory.  But 
without any apparent ill effects I kept there, with the name 
OriginalKeyEventTranslations.tr,  a copy of the original 
KeyEventTranslations.tr (and likewise for MenuSetup.tr, which I had also 
modified by adding something).  Perhaps Mathematica is reading all these 
files but with no ill effect since the modified versions only add commands?
