Well, seems I RTFM'd yesterday nite. Okay, the options in the
menu are available without the Amiga key.
Showing the keys by underlining the letters (with the buttons)
would still help.
Try using Voodoo without any mouse at all. Only if this works
comfortably then you've got a good interface. (Because the
mouse interface is nearly always usable anyway...)

They are used for _scrolling_. It would make sense to _change_ the
current message with them, right ?
