Yeah well, I figured it out in the meantime (between when you were being a
smart-ass and this reply)
Thanks anyway...

 other

  I know how to do my research, but I thought I'd take the lazy route and
 ask
  around here first.

 This isn't the google group, this is a mailing list served on
 autodesk.com.  There is a google group out there that's called
 Softimage Mailing List Archive and says on its home page This
 Google group is only an archive of the Softimage mailing list, above
 the instructions on how to subscribe to the actual mailing list on
 autodesk.com

 I think I have the password to that google group (it was created by a
 patrick boucher years ago) and I could clarify that terse description
 if someone can suggest a better one.

Chances are you've been told this before, but on the off chance you haven't
- learning to work in the Softimage's interaction/hotkeys way will pay off
in a very near future.
There are many reasons people prefer Softimage over other software and this
is one of them.
Using shortcuts for different sub-objects modes is extremely useful:
- T for point
- Y (rectangle) and U (raycast) for poly
- E (rectangle) and 'i' (raycast) for edge
- when in rectangle mode (regardless of sub-object) pressing shift+F10 will
activate a rectangle-raycast hybrid mode. Just try it if you don't know
what I'm talking about

Oh, you have to be in the default (XSI) mode in order for these hotkeys to
work.
You can also find them under the (upper-right) menu 'Select'

I personally stick with XSI's interaction/hotkeys when animating also.
I just switched the functions of K with D (and their combos, shift+K,
alt+K) since duplicate tool (D) I rarely if ever use it.
