Good eye, sir! In ~folding the vms key~, it is very important to keep 
track of the _precending_ single, double, and triplet characters!!!! 
I don't speak/type EVA that well, but a 

c(gallows)
cc(gallows)
ccc(gallows) (note this char in vm has 3rd 'c' above 2 c's

is ~flowing~ the same as 

\&
\\&
\\\& 


is ~flowing~ the same as

\c
\\c
\\\c

These "c's" above point in a BACKWARD direction on the folding key, 
( ES 'C=CUT BACK?') while
the "\& \\& \\\&'s" above point in a FORWARD direction on the folding 
key. (Advance your finger 1,2,3 etc..)

("direction on the folding key" (above) is reference to the movement 
of your finger (or mind/easy to memorize system) on its _simple_ 
Tic-Tac-Toe style KEY BOARD.) FOLDING of a piece of paper

ES said IT IS SIMPLER THAN YOU THINK! :-)

The whole book/writing style abounds with these (single, double, 
triplets)/* anycharacter/or gallows..... the SIMPLEST SYSTEM (your 
razor?) is just a ~MiRrOr ImAgE~ of itself!!!

best to you & yours there

steve (also, the vms is OLDER THAN YOU THINK) ekwall :-)
