Thanks to all that responded. in the interest of reducing the number of mails
this list generates I will not responde to each individually.
You know, i simply never tried the cut and paste pattern in netscape this
works very well thanks.
ANd the ctrl-k to delete to the end of the line is a new on too.
I also never tried the goto thing. This is kind of cool but the alt-o is hard
with the left hand only when I have the right on the mouse but I will try is a
few time to see if I can get the hang of it
Thanks again. I just goes to show the only stupid question is the one that
goes unasked.
Bret
