Hmmm, some people have a problem and some don't but what really
amazes me is that Word Processors and editors for example (whether
they be for Windows or for the Mac), don't have a key you can press
to start and end your selection with, say go to the start of where
you want to highlight, press a key, go to the end of where you want
to highlight and press another key to mark the end of highlighting,
so simple but yet so damn hhard to implement it would seem <smile>.

My bent is to type what I want in the style I want and move on.
I've often found <in windows> that selection can be an iffy
proposition.

Thank you, that's exactly how I thought it worked, glad my lessons

But can't you short circuit all this though by say selecting a
portion of text and then applying the shortcut?
Yes, you can. And when you do it that way, you don't have to woory
about how to turn the attribute off again as it will only affect
the highlighted portion.
