Quite probably the bindkeys have not been loaded in the .cdsinit file.

The .cdsinit file is searched for in:

<instdir>/tools/dfII/local
~ (home dir)
. (current working dir)

and then the first one found loaded. Often people have a central one which
continues the search in the other places (but sometimes the file is called
something else then - I've seen personal files such as .cdslocal, .cdsuser -
you'd have to ask whoever is responsible for your system)

To load the sample bindkeys that we provide with the software, you can
add the line:

load(prependInstallPath("samples/local/leBindKeys.il"))

There are some other sample bindkeys as well, including leSchBindKeys.il
which contain a unified set of bindkeys (vaguely common keys between
composer and virtuoso). And of course you can roll your own.

To try them out, try typing the above command in the CIW entry line.
