Ann: Hi: It suddenly strikes me as one of those "Duh?" experiences that I should probably be wearing a t-shirt or something with keyboard commands on it<grin> One of the things that really helped me move forward with my Mac training in the most recent session was that my trainer simply observed me trying to do tasks, and kept the keyboard commands list handy. Your list of commands here just finally hit home for me in terms of my own need to commit a lot of them to memory. This little listing you gave was really helpful, and, eventually, I'm sure they'll start sticking with me. All of this to say Thanks.
