Good morning Alan,

Yeah it really is morning here ;o)

AZ> users - business users especially - had invested time and money into
AZ> learning specialized keyboard commands for Lotus 1-2-3 and
AZ> Wordperfect.

And don't forget Word Star!  Those commands are planted in my spine.

M$ didn't fool me however. I have always found editors that have been
compatible with the WordStar commands, irrespective of the OS.

BTW, Borland used them in their programming editors too.

I have never used Mac's however, so I don't know if that is possible.

AZ> (Remember keyboard number-row overlays with keyboard commands?)

Yeah, I remember them. Right now I'm using one, made for M$ Excel, but
it's upside down so I can plot my own shorthands on the empty back side.


Have a nice day,

Holger
