And calls "exit" on netscape. I've had to fill in several text forms a second time because of this. Likewise Ctrl+a, Ctrl+e which alter text justification in word, and move to the start or end of a line in emacs. Of course you can adapt. But its the computer and you are the human. It should adapt to your desires, not you adapt to its. Phil
