Rats! Of course C itself is no problem but that usually means it takes longer to find and fix properly plus the effort to integrate it with new versions increases dramatically. > While the new Alt behavior would be good for Windows users, I wonder > what users of other OSes do?

I think the suggestion -- and I agreed -- was to make it configurable. Even some Windows users may not want it even though that is what every other windows program (practically) does. Alt then Key is the same as Alt-Key for pulling down menus. > Any ideas? > -- > Two cafe au lait please, but without milk.
