Yup. "All kinds," in this case, meaning the use of the Shift, Command, or Option keys with the non-mouse hand. *So* much more difficult than having all of those useful keys on the other hand. And "kludges" meaning "built into the operating system, rather than depending on the whims of individual programmers who have all of the cooperative instincts of house cats." Just awful. Even though it's usually easier to learn how to coordinate with the keays on the other hand, and even though it gives you more options, and even though it's less strain on your mouse hand... In other words, Dan is used to one thing, and one thing only. Don't startle him. -- Chad Irby | My greatest fear: that future generations will, cirby@magicnet.net | for some reason, refer to me as an "optimist."
