  Yes. That would do it! Terrific idea. Thanks again. I'm
gonna give it a shot on my next project and let you know.

  Oh another one of those, eh? I have a friend like that and
she's anti-rodent, too. Do you also use the arrow keys on the
far right keypad instead of the one in the middle?

  Yup!

  Hmmm and hmmm . . . let me guess: control-' takes you to end
of line and, umm errr, control-a gets you to the beginning?

Yes. I third hands are still in beta, I hear. I believe they're
coming with Windows . . . ninety-six, . . . nah, better make it
ninety-seven!
