More on keyboard shortcuts: Within Windows applications, Alt + down and Alt + up seem to be equivalent, although I don't think the latter is documented. Similarly, when the focus is on a combo box, Shift + F4 or Ctrl + F4 are equivalent to F4. Alt + F4, however, works as one would expect: Exit (or Close). I was surprised to find that Ctrl + F4 works in this context, because normally it is reserved for Close the pane or document. Similarly, Shift + F4, while not reserved for anything that I am aware of, is used by certain applications. In MS-Word, for example, Shift + F4 is "RepeatFind," which finds the string you searched for last without invoking the Find dialogue box. Alan
