Another "Fixes that I call bugs" gripe that will probably get less
sympathy than any of the others.
I've been teaching myself the Dvorak keyboard with the help of a modified
system file that remaps the keyboard. Word 3.0 does some of its own
mapping, with strange results: Option key commands are QWERTY,
Command-shift commands are QWERTY, unshifted Command-keys are DVORAK.
Bizarre, but I've gotten pretty fast and could do anything from the
keyboard except Undo (command-Z). Don't ask me why Word had to mess
with that. Works fine with MacDraw.
Now I've discovered that Word 3.01 takes away the Paste command from me
(command-V). That is now the QWERTY Command-peroid, for cancel.
Is everyone thoroughly confused now?
Believe it or not, I'll probably hang onto Word 3.0. The paste command is
awfully useful...
By the way, for anyone contemplating trying to learn DVORAK, it really
does *not* ruin you for normal typing, and it can be much faster.
If anybody can tell me how to fix this I'll send you a box of
Frango mints!
