Impressed wit the depth.. One point to remember.. I was talking to a 25 year software programmer one day about lousy menus.. He basically siad... "I don't care.. as long as there are shortcut keys... I never use the mouse if I don't have too, it is slower, makes me remove my right hand from the keyboard" And indeed, things like CodeWrite, the big name in Software editor, has control, function and alt keys fro all major functions and the good programer use them all the time. It is faster. Using a mouse is low, you need to first stop typing, find the mouse, find the mpouse poiunter on teh screen, move the pointer to a button, click it and maybe cmove and click again. Compay File/Copy and paste to Cntl-C and Cntl-V. Good stuff Mike B Mike
