Got to remember, we're talking in the beginning of computing...  Those guys didn't have any clue about how to type, so I imagine a lot of the first programmers were "hunt-and-peck" typists.  Having the keys right close together like that probably helped them find and make use of them more efficiently.  Of all the symbols that could've been chosen for PRINT, I truly imagine the proximity of the question mark to the quotation key was a large part in why it was chosen for a shortcut.  Smile
