Most applications don't have names for the commands invoked by keys, they just use "PageDown" the key name. Do they generally agree on which direction "PageDown" should scroll? If so, that would seem to be a general convention for the meaning of "down" for scrolling. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
